Excuse me? Hateful monster?

Did you READ the article? Here's some DIRECT QUOTES:

The 15 non-WebKit patches included a pair that addressed glitches in the password-locking feature of the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

Apple has had problems with the iPhone's password-locking feature in the past. In August 2008, a researcher discovered that Apple had forgotten to patch a bug that let people sidestep locking by simply tapping "Emergency Call" on the password-entry screen and then double-tapping the Home button. The bug had been patched in January 2008, but it resurfaced in iPhone 2.0. Apple repatched it a month later.

In February 2010, the last time before Monday that Apple updated the iPhone's firmware, the company fixed another passcode flaw, which could be used to bypass the security feature when a user was restoring an unresponsive smartphone.

Now, I'd call ALL OF THOSE security problems. And if it's hateful for pointing out critical security flaws with iPads and iPhones and other devices running earlier iOS versions, then I guess I'm guilty as charged.

Ask Apple why the security flaws are present... They're the ones who put them there, not me!
