To those of you who have a Jailbroken, be sure to change your default SSH password, or then turn off the whole SSH feature. If you don’t do these steps, it’s possible to “hack” into your phone very easily.

A Dutch hacker tried to make a buck with discovering this. He sent out a SMS-popup on phones that he had hacked, and asked for $5 in reward for securing your phone.

The hacker has now posted instruction on how to secure your phone, for free. So if you have a jailbroken iPhone, be sure to follow the guide here!
