If one follows common sense and doesn’t download third party software and doesn’t open unknown links from email they won’t get this virus.
Tell that to the millions of Windows XP users who complained about viruses...which were all installed by clicking on links and agreeing to install them. All those users went to apple for “More Security”.
Even opening links through email cannot get you "infected." An unjailbroken iPhone or iPad cannot download apps from anywhere except Apple's Official App Store.
To get affected by this requires quite a concatenation of events to compromise your iOS device. This is FUD. The user has to really be stupid to fall for any of this. The user has to have deliberately turned OFF his built in security on both iOS and his Mac to get any of this onto his iOS device. . . and then ignored warning alerts after downloading the malicious software from an untrusted site, unless the hacker has invaded his company's corporate IT department and snuck it in there after it was curated by Apple. Not at all likely.
