"If not for our firm talking about the exploit to third parties who subsequently notified [AT&T], they would have never fixed it"
and
"Auernheimer said that Goatse had given [AT&T] ample warning to inform its customers of the issue before it went public with the details of the hack"

Am I missing something there?

Very amusing to see goatse used in such an earnest writing, especially since you din't even botehr to add the 'security' thing to the name.

As for AT&T, I bet they did not apologize yet for spying on a 100million americans in violation of the law and constitution and then using their money and influence to corrupt the system to get a get-out-of-jail-free card form 2 (two) presidents.
Screw the constitution and law and privacy and respect, it's apple we feel bad about, poor poor blessed saint apple.

The damage has already been done :(
