Hidden job advert for Apple

[Ian]

It looks like Apple have been hiding clever job application forms in various parts of their online infrastructure, in places likely only found by curious developers or problem solving engineers. Zack Whittaker found this text as he was analysing where iPhone app data was being sent:

The text begins: "Hey there! You found us", and says the firm is looking for "a talented engineer to develop a critical infrastructure component".

It has since been either removed or moved elsewhere.

Cyber-security reporter Zack Whittaker discovered it by chance while analysing some data being sent from iPhone apps - but he is not applying for the job.

"As part of the stream of traffic I could see, it was connecting to this one URL - and there it was," he said.

The page was listed under the web address "us-east-1.blobstore.apple.com" - which now contains an error message.
