So, finally the paradigm has come back a full circle and back to *nix - Mac OS in this case.

"When Apple was just a niche maker of Mac computers and only truly popular among college students and graphic designers, hackers paid little attention to the company. Instead, they focused on Microsoft, which had more than a 90% share of the PC operating system market.

Those days are over. Recent iPad security scares are a sign that Apple’s devices are a growing target for hackers, spammers and malicious coders"

Yup, they did not have many security threats not because they were any smarter than Microsoft, but just because they were not as popular.

Apple is definitely a better hardware company than Microsoft, but they cant compete when it comes to software. Just a thought.

Just as it happened with the JB Iphones. Although it was due to the JB itself.

This is not jailbroken phones. This was brandnew iPads. They actually found that they could make the iPad believe that a hacked cell tower was the only tower for that ipad and to send all data thru it.
What more can one want?
