New iPhone Worm Wants User's Bank Passwords
Posted By admin On November 23, 2009 @ 5:33 pm In All,Software | No Comments

A second iPhone worm virus has been found by security company F-Secure. It is specifically targeting people in the Netherlands who are using their iPhones for internet banking with Dutch online bank ING.
It redirects the bank's customers to a site with a log-in screen (). The worm attacks "jailbroken" phones - a modification which enables the user to run non-Apple approved software on their handset. Only handsets with installed SSH (secure shell) are at risk. SSH is a file-transfer program that enables users to remotely connect to their phones. It comes with a default password, 'alpine' which should be changed.
Here is a tutorial [2] how to change the default SSH password and minimize the risk.
