While I'd imagine that at some point someone will find a really bad Apple hack, so far it's still all stupid stuff:

How to get infected with the Masque Attack:

1. Download an infected file
2. Disable Apple's security controls
3. Click "Yes" to trust the file

How to get infected with WireLurker:

1. Jailbreak your iOS device
2. Connect to the third-party Maiyadi app store from China
3. Download one of the 400+ trojanized applications

So...yes. If you make stupid decisions, it can come back to bite you. Shocking, I know :awe:
