Hackers target iPhones: Malware runs on iOS7 and iOS8 to steal photos, texts, contacts and even reveal your location

Is it just me or does anyone else see the irony in this?  A newspaper who hacked peoples email, cell phones, voicemail and so on is reporting on cybercriminals basically doing the same thing?

From The Daily Mail:

Hackers target iPhones: Malware runs on iOS7 and iOS8 to steal photos, texts, contacts and even reveal your location

Hackers are using spyware to steal text messages, contacts, pictures and other personal information from iPhones, according to computer security experts.
 
Anti-virus company Trend Micro claims it has discovered new software that infects iPhones running iOS 7 and iOS8.
 
The software is spread via phishing attacks that are sent from the phones of friends and associates to encourage targets to click on a link and install the spyware.
