Second worm hit jailbroken iPhones
After Australian hacker Ikee Rickrolled a bunch of jailbroken iPhones in the land Down Under, this week sees a new worm modified from Ikee’s exploit. This new version is slightly more malicious, as Ikee was hoping to only motivated user to change their root password.
The new strain , dubbed ‘iPhone/Privacy.A’ is created online security firm Intego, and is programmed to do several things: act silently and retrieve e-mail messages, SMS messages, calendar appointments, contacts, photos, music files, videos, along with any other data recorded by your iPhone apps.
What is the data being used for? Where is it going to? No one seems to know yet. However, the one good news is that the chances of getting infected are low. Still, change those root passwords people. Here’s how.
