    FTFA:

    "The post-exploitation modules (post for short) are designed to run on systems that were compromised through another vector, whether its social engineering, a guessed password, or an unpatched vulnerability," HD Moore, Rapid7 chief security officer and Metasploit chief architect told InternetNews.com. "This module requires iTunes to be installed and for a backend to be accessible that has not been encrypted."

    Correct. Slashvertisements are annoying enough, at least they should be reasonably accurate. This one falls into the "sensationalist blurb" category.
