Apple has posted a job description for an iPhone Security Engineer aiming to strengthen current security measures of the Mac OS X Mobile and the iPhone architecture. Details of the required experience make this job offer dedicated to the current iPhone hackers:
Required Experience:
* A genuine passion for analyzing security technologies and developing "proof of concept" attacks
* Demonstrated creative and critical thinking capabilities and troubleshooting skills
* Industry exposure to and knowledge of OS security and UNIX internals
* A strong software development background
* Highly professional, with the ability to deliver solid work on tight schedules

As in IT history, Apple is looking for talents initially working on the dark side spending their time in hacking and cracking security measures, to turn them into White Knights who will protect the iPhone "Grail". This is not new, as some antivirus-developing companies are currently run by old hackers in the PC world.
