worm

If you jailbroke your iPhone, you understood there were both positive and negative elements to doing this. Still, if you're staring at a picture of Rick Astley that you never installed or the new iPhone worm is sending personal information out to others, you're in a bit of a bind and need to remove them.

Presently, the three known worms out there for the iPhone are as follows: Ikee changes your wallpaper to Rick Astley, iPhone/Privacy.A pores through all your personal information, and the third as-yet-unnamed worm copies your personal data and redirects online banking customers of a Dutch bank to a fake phishing website.

A new iPhone worm has found its way onto jailbroken iPhones with SSH enabled. The worm, which emerged from the Netherlands according to security software company F-Secure, puts up an ING Direct login page that lets the hacker gather login credentials and, presumably, move funds to wherever they please. This version also changes the 'alpine' password to block users from getting to the phone via SSH.
