> Apple explained that it found a bug while investigating internal messages between a then-current employee, Yu-Ting “Alyssa” Peng, and an engineer [..] Chang Liu.

> Liu left Apple for OpenAI in January 2026. However, on February 9, Liu discovered an “authentication bug” that was unknown to Apple at the time.

Liu discovered the bug after leaving Apple, in Feb '26, but talked about it using an internal messaging-system?, while still at Apple?

But he exploited it AFTER leaving Apple, and Apple discovered and fixed the bug "after they found Liu’s messages"?
