Apple has hired Kristin Paget - formerly known as Chris Paget, a hacker who helped Microsoft lock down Windows Vista five years ago.
Paget and company's bug-hunt was so successful, in fact, that it forced Microsoft to push back Vista's ship date. When the work was done, the hackers received special T-shirts, signed by Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine. They read: "I delayed Windows Vista."
Paget made headlines in 2010 when she built her own cellphone-intercepting base station at the Defcon hacker conference.
Back then, Paget was known as Chris. She switched genders last year.
Although Paget said she was "total Unix head" - and expressed a dislike of Windows during her 2011 Black Hat talk - she didn't have anything to say about Apple.
