Prior to his current employment, he spent five years working for the National Security Agency. He currently lives in Wildwood, Missouri. Miller has publicly demonstrated many security exploits of Apple products.
In 2009, he also demonstrated an SMS processing vulnerability that allowed for complete compromise of the Apple iPhone and denial-of-service attacks on other phones.
In 2011, he found a security hole in the iPhone and iPad, whereby an application can contact a remote computer to download new unapproved software that can execute any command that could steal personal data or otherwise using iOS applications functions for malicious purposes. As a proof of concept, Miller created an application called Instastock that was approved by Apple"s App Store.
He then informed Apple about the security hole, who then promptly expelled him from the App Store. Miller participated in research on discovering security vulnerabilities in NFC (Near Field Communication).
He has also published three books, one entitled The Mac Hacker"s Handbook.
