Symantec warns of iOS threat levels increasing over 2015. . . but then say it's mostly for jailbroken iOS devices. The few that were not were minor vulnerabilities that have been closed and did not rise to serious levels. -- PING!

Oh noes! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

The Register's article claims 13 iOS malware found by Symantec in 2015, 8 of which only effect jailbroken iOS devices. . . but if one reads the linked report BY Symantec, it turns out that the Register is not quite telling the truth. They claim only SEVEN!

Jailbreaking greatly increases risk of iOS malware The number of iOS malware threats discovered to date remains quite small, although it is beginning to increase, with seven new threats discovered to date in 2015, up from the previous high of three in 2014.

Now, why would the Register distort the data like that, other than the fact that the Register is known for distorting Apple articles toward FUD. . . but the difference between only 7 malware and 13 is minuscule when compared to the over three million documented malware exploits on Android. Odd.
