First known worm for iPhone spreading in Australia

The first known worm for Apple's iPhone is spreading on jail-broken iPhones in Australia. The worm takes advantage of the default password for SSH used by many jail-broken phones, and places an image of 1980s pop singer Rick Astley on the device.

The first known worm for the Apple iPhone is sweeping across Australia , and it is taking advantage of default SSH passwords on jail-broken phones.
