New jailbreaked iPhone worm !
A new worm is added to the family of malware targeting smartphones from Apple. The International Institute SRI Malware Threat Center has published a study on a new variant of the worm iKee.B (duh) that transforms the jailbreaked iPhone into zombie machines.
Captured on 25 last month, this new variant targets jailbroken iPhones, one operator as its predecessors, a flaw in the SSH service present on all jailbroken iPhones.
IPhones become infected by the result of zombie machines controlled remotely by a server located in Lithuania, to divert their data.
This worm does not seem to worry that Apple keeps repeating that the use of jailbroken iPhones is a security risk
