Another SSH Worm, There Could Be More On The Way

I posted a blog recently reporting on an SSH iPhone hack that was injecting iphones with a message on their lockscreen saying they had to pay a fee to get their iphone unlocked again. Well another hacker, called Ikee, has just created another hack, this time injecting iphones with a picture of 80's singer Rick Astley, and a message saying " Ikee is never going to give you up". This hack again uses a worm to access iphones that are running open ssh and are still using the default " alpine " password.

This really highlights the importance again of switching off ssh when not in use, and of changing the default password.

Read my earlier blog on how to do this.

These hacks could become more and more frequent, so be warned, change your password now to protect your iphone, or an ssh hack could be on its way, TO YOU!
