This is merely a means of JAILBREAKING iOS 9. . . it is NOT a means of cracking the encryption, PAR35. It still requires either participation of the user, either deliberate or through social engineering to get the user to navigate an already unlocked iPhone or iPad to a malicious website using either a Safari or Chrome browser. It does NOT allow someone who does not already have access to an iPhone or iPad to break into the device. That remains impossible. . . nor will it decrypt the devices' encryption. This vulnerability and exploit will be closed very quickly, as all such vulnerabilities have in the past.
