   5/13 update   
   Verbatim:   
     "05/13 Update: while Apple continues to play down this vulnerability,   
      significant action is being taken elsewhere. For example, Germany's   
      Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has issued a statement   
      recommending the removal of the iOS Mail app. BSI President Arne   
      Schonbohm states: 'The BSI assesses these vulnerabilities as   
      particularly critical. It enables the attackers to manipulate large   
      parts of the mail communication on the affected devices.   
      Futhermore [sic] there is currently no patch available. This means that   
      *thousands of iPhones and iPads are at acute risk* from private   
      individuals, companies and government agencies. We are in contact with   
      *Apple and have asked the company to find a solution* for the security   
      of their products as soon as possible'..."   
      
   --   
   I feel Apple will be forced, at least in Europe, to care about security.
