Apple's vetting is absolute shit, viruses have got through before now, I have heard of more iPhone viruses than Android
Actually hacking an Iphone, or most phones, was pretty easy before that laptop was compromised. Now it just means it's half a step easier to do so. This is especially true with jailbroken phones, unless if you add a firewall and what-not (because you're more or less giving the hacker admin credentials, at this point).

The second comment just reminds me how people thought Macs were safe from viruses...then it turned to less likely to get viruses...and now we have specific malware and viruses targeted directly for macs, and in all honesty the risk is just the same. The same could potentially be said for Android vs. Iphones...but there's a few variables. For example, it could just be that every 9 year old and his creepy uncle have Iphones, just because it has an Apple logo on it. When you're a hacker (or penetration tester...giggity), what better thing to work on than the most popular phone out? Especially little Timmy's phone, cause who doesn't like dumping inappropriate pictures on a kid's phone and getting him in trouble?

but I digress, my career is showing, sorry ^.^
