At San Francisco's RSA conference (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/01/rsa-bans-booth-babes/), an even more terrifying exploit has been revealed that has the power to send your iPhone or iPad into a perpetual restart loop. Mobile security firm Skycure (https://www.skycure.com/blog/ios-shield-allows-dos-attacks-on-ios-devices/) has discovered that iOS 8 has an innate vulnerability to SSL certificates that, when combined with another WiFi exploit, gives malicious types the ability to create "no iOS zones" that can render your smartphones and tablets unusable. Before you read on, grab a roll of tinfoil and start making a new case for your iPhone.
