The Guardian is reporting on a newly discovered bug in IOS which causes iDevices to continually crash and reboot.
Once the user has entered what its discoverer, security researchers Skycure, dubs the “no iOS Zone”, there’s no way to fix their phone other than escaping the range of the malicious network; every time it reboots, it crashes almost immediately.
The basis of the attack uses a “specially crafted SSL certificate”, typically used to ensure a secure connection, to trigger a bug in the operating system that crashes out any app using SSL.

Or better yet, maybe I can install this on my bicycle. I hate it when the local heavy machinery operators are too busy playing with their phones to check and see if there's space for them to safely pilot their machines through narrow city streets.
