Really, there's no story here.
That's true at one level -- it was expected when security is breached (or appears to have been breached; I haven't looked at the details myself).
Not sure that's I'd call it a security breach - it is a design change. One that is actually quite easy to work around, although Apple's intention is not really hurt by that fact.
But then again when you have millions of people affected, that's generally a solid news story, in my experience.
Good point. I'm not a journalist, so my first take on things doesn't tend to run in that direction.
