You wouldn't know that from the how the headline reads. It would
be more accurate to read:

"Hacked iPhones Hacked to Death by Trojan!"
"Police Suspect Child's Play"
Impossible!!!

Apple does *NOT* make operating systems or gadgets that have security holes!

Apple did not make this security hole.

You have to wonder why? Also you seem to mislead your readers by
saying it Masquerades as a firmware update for the iPhone which it
does not:

The Trojan specifically targets users that have modded their iPhone
so they can install third-party applications. The application masks
itself as an update to Erica?s Utilities and is labeled as ?113 prep.
