OSX address book contact deletion via iSync

These data sources even include items that your suspect may have previously deleted or has migrated from previous Mac OS X computers.I contacted Apple’s security team to see if they were aware of this, if it works as described and, if so, why would such mechanisms exist in any responsible operating system.
