New bug can cause iMessage to crash with a text message

There's a new bug floating around called "chaiOS" that appears to be a basic GitHub link. However, when you text it to a person via the iMessage app, it will crash the app and possibly cause the device to freeze and restart.

In May, iMessage spam made up more than 40 percent of all mobile spam. Landesman, anti-spam researcher, confirmed his suspicion that the spam came from China after buying the advertised designer-label knock-offs. They were all shipped from China.
