Mark Almond writes that there is a potential risk that Vladimir Putin could cause millions of iPhones to explode without warning. If his concerns are accurate, this could represent a serious threat to the safety and security of iPhone users.

Mark Almond draws a parallel between the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the recent attack on Hezbollah-operated pagers in Lebanon.
