Current iOS Zero-day (March '16) = False Alarm

An alarming trend is happening.  "Cybersecuirty" hype:

Yes, it is a vulnerability.  Is it front-page, five-alarm, news-worthy?  No, cryptography can be broken, that is why compensating controls are put in place.

With that said, will the U.S. Justice Department focus in on this exploit?  If so, will they leave Apple alone?  Time will tell....
