Happy to change it to a better title, i.e. something more accurate and neutral. We're particularly happy to do that with corporate press releases, which often deliberately obscure the situation. But usually that requires a suggestion (and at least partial consensus) from users who understand the story.

Yeah, Apple's page titles generally suck, especially when they are presented without context. The big things in this one is that they're pushing fixes to devices that people had considered abandoned for almost two years, and that these fixes explicitly mention that they have been exploited in the wild in what I believe is Apple's second admission of this, and the first time they did so without blaming Google Project Zero of a mischaracterization. That's clearly a bit too much to put in a title, but something like "Apple releases iOS 12.4.9, backporting fixes for severe security vulnerabilities". I'd like to put "exploited in the wild" in there somewhere as well since I think it's an important part of the story, but I am not sure if this would keep it neutral.
