Dont name your Wi-Fi hotspot this, unless you want to crash your iPhone

A bug has been discovered in iOS that can cause an iPhone to crash when it attempts to join a Wi-Fi network with a particular name. Security researcher Carl Schou stumbled across the problem, and tweeted a vido of his iPhone getting in a mighty muddle when trying to connect to a hotspot with that name. Neither rebooting nor changing SSID fixes it, according to Schou. In all likelihood this is a simple goof caused by the way in which the iOS code is parsing the name, causing a crash.”]
