Yep... sounds about right... at this point they have determined that being hacked in this fashion is acceptable for the organization.

Apparently it was never broken...

“To be clear, this is not a vulnerability or bug in Apple’s code... basically just unclear/confusing documentation that led to people using their API incorrectly,” Wardle told Ars. “Apple updated [its] documents to be more clear, and third-party developers just have to invoke the API with a more comprehensive flag (that was always available).”

@danp that still counts as broken in my world. If the people developing the software don't understand how to use the tools they need to develop the software. . . well then there is a break there. .

Let this be a lesson to everyone who is writing scripts and programming...
COMMENT YOUR CODE.

Better to just write code that is readable, if you need to comment it, check to see if there isn't a better way.
