WTF?

"Apple, just like many other companies, does typically detect this type of abuse and locks down the particular account being probed. What seems to happen here, [with] the 'exploit', is a failure to notice the brute force attack and therefore [a] failure to prevent it."

So is he trying to make the excuse the attack wasn't brutish enough? Wow, a polite force attack, whodathunk!
