More iPhone security issues have been highlighted in recent times than ever before. While we saw a case where the iPhone developer is sued for accessing iPhone owners’ email IDs, a more serious exploit with jailbroken iPhones was highlighted by a not-so-harmful work called Ikee. This attacks jailbroken iPhone with SSH installed. iPhones and iPod touches are jailbroken to unlock or allow for third party app installations. It is estimated that 6-8% of all iPhones might be jailbroken.
Although Ikee served as a warning (and before the iPhone community could digest it properly) here comes another worm – the iPhone/Privacy.A. This is not a non-harmful experiment like Ikee. Instead it’s a serious malware that sweeps away your iPhone data, and doesn’t even give you a hint of what it took away from you (emails, sms, photos, contacts and more).
So if you are one of those who enjoys an jailbroken iPhone, our advice would be to use the tutorial we have put up on iPhoneHelp and secure this exploit by changing the SSH access password to your iPhone.
