I'm currently on vacation, which means that most of the wifi hotspots I'm connecting to are public. That's a big security risk in itself
- thesmok 9y agoiOS security update files are crypto signed, so it's safe to download them on public WiFi.

If your wifi chipset is known to be compromised, and there is a remote exploit available, as in this case, then merely connecting with wifi to an evil hotspot is enough to compromise a device. Once a device's been compromised, crypto signatures on update files won't protect you, as the signature checking itself can no longer be trusted.
