Second iPhone worm now alive


91191-44

A second worm targeting jailbroken iPhones have been discovered. At the moment it’s spreading in the Netherlands.

What the worm does, is that it steals login info of users of a Dutch online bank IGN Direct. It does this by using the same SSH exploit as the previous worm did. The default password for SSH is ‘alpine’, and all of you who have not changed this into something else are in danger.

This makes this worm into the first ‘real’ worm on the iPhone, since it’s trying to make the inventor some $$$(instead of just Rickrollin’ you).
