Over the last few days, one of the most talked about topics in the Apple news and rumors community has been Apple’s purported loss of an unreleased iPhone in July of this year. CNET had the scoop, but others have since tried to refute it – including the bar that the unreleased iPhone was said to be lost in and the San Francisco police.

Possibly related to Apple actually losing yet another unreleased iPhone in bar, Apple is now searching for new leaders for their product security team. The company has posted two new job listings on their official job search website for managers for the unreleased products security team. Apple candidly states what these individuals will be responsible for:

The candidate will be responsible for overseeing the protection of, and managing risks to, Apple’s unreleased products and related intellectual property.

We certainly cannot assume that this job listing lends credence to Apple losing an iPhone 5, but the timing is quite interesting. The full job listing is shown after the break.
