        It's only hit the news because it never happens.

        It's pretty much old news for Android.

        Wait till Windows gets hit..

                Well, in this case it is not fair or right to suggest theree is something wrong with Apple/iOS.

                This is a case of PEBKAC, where the user takes action which compromises the security of the system, in this case, by adding dangerous App stores.

                This particular issue can happen in any ecosystem, when users do stupid things.

                I am not Apple user, and intend never to, but at same time we must be objective. I'm a hardcore Linux user, and I know very well how secure it is, but it doesn't mean if I start doing silly things it will magically remain secure. It won't.

                            As a matter of fact, I see more and more low income people with iCrap here. It is an object of bling and people get illuded by it. People with higher incomes tend to be cautious with their spending and some, don't even have a smartphone.
