Here I though virus writers only cared enough to write viruses for the Windows platform…..seems I was wrong. mybloggingplanet.com
The Ikee worm has been infecting jailbroken iPhones. The actual payload of the virus is not particularly deadly – all it does is changes the background image to a picture of Rick Astley. Think of it as Rick-rolling your iPhone.
The danger is not that Rick Astley’s… dashing… looks greet you when using the iPhone, but rather that having proven that virus can infect iPhones, it opens the way for a host of other more dangerous varieties. Granted it only affects the jailbroken phones, but I figure it is just a matter of time before a hacker somewhere bypasses that little restriction.
