The iPhone will never gonna give you up

Australia is known for a lot of things, now it can add in that the first worm for the iPhone originated here. The worm is called Ikee and it changes the background wallpaper on infected iPhones to Rick Astley of Rick Roll fame with the text caption “ikee is never going to give you up.” So how does it spread? If you have a jailbroken iPhone AND ssh installed with the default password, you are vulnerable. But it looks like the author is already being pegged down to Australia with his Myspace and Twitter links found after the source code was read and might be in the local news for this and/or being arrested.

 

Do you know anyone who has been a victim to this?

Re: The iPhone will never gonna give you up

I dont really think u get that much more out of jailbreaking them tbh, how much do you need before its a bloody pc itself. While on the spot emails and websites are handy really you still use your pc for majority of that.

Re: The iPhone will never gonna give you up

once you see all the apps available youd be suprised

i was thinking like you at first as well, like what the hell would i do with it
but the games are addictive, and some apps are real handy, like TomTom, Shazam, WunderRadio, Oxford etc etc

Re: The iPhone will never gonna give you up

iPhones are great, i did have a blackberry storm. When i had it i thought it was the best and shat all ova the iPhone. That was until the vodafone re-seller didnt put my contract through correctly and i got an iPhone 3mths later for nothing..put it this way the storm has been sitting in my drawer for the last 8mths doing what it did best...nothing!

iPhone rocks!
