Another worm on jailbroken iPhone

Submitted by on November 24, 2009 – 8:30 AMNo Comment | 5 views

Looks like more and more people are trying to exploit the loophole in the jailbroken iPhone with default SSH password. This time round, the worm is more malicious than the Rick Rolling ikee worm.

The worm is targeting those in the Netherlands who are using their iPhones for internet banking with Dutch online bank ING. It redirects user to a lookalike site with a log-in screen.

This worm can be easily avoided by changing the SSH default password. Simple right? In fact, they should force users to change the default SSH password upon install.

For those who didn’t jailbreak your iPhone, we are still safe from all these malicious programs….. for now.
