    Here is a fixed title: Apple IOS 4.3.4 Drive-By Exploit Released Hours After Update

    All a malicious person needs to do is make a porn site for iPhone and iPad users and use the PDF exploit to gain root. Then they can for example install a hidden app that calls and sends sms to premium rate numbers, or do anything else they desire with the device. But somehow this exploit gets turned as a great thing all while the same users are touting how secure their Apple products are.
