"lured an unsuspecting virgin iPhone to a malicious website" I wonder what would happen if the same test is done with Android, as both are using Webkit based browsers.
Read the article. It hints at what it uses to exploit. The webkit's implementation has nothing to do with how safari stacks and implements client-side exploits. Two entirely different systems.

@Lamperouge Well I'm too lazy to read it. :P Anyway, the fact that the iPhone can be jailbroken tells you how "secure" it is in general.

Using that logic, my PC running Google Chrome is in trouble too!
Fortunately, it doesn't work like that.
@Steve B Well, even OS X got hacked by redirecting Safari to a malicious website, so I guess this is actually expected.
