sacado de hackaday:
Here’s further proof that you should understand what it is you’re doing when you go to hack your handheld. Jailbreaking an iPhone has been made quite easy to the point that a lot of folks do it without reading any of the accompanying documentation. Those who didn’t heed the warning to change the default SSH password on a Jailbroken phone might get a bit of a surprise. A worm has been unleashed that finds Jailbroken iPhones (http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/ikee-rickrolling-iphone-worm-09-11-2009/) and changes the background image to a picture of [Rick Astley]. That’s right, they’ve been Rickrolled (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0).
It’s a clever little devil that propagates by grabbing the IP address of the iPhone it is currently on, then testing all of the IP address in that family to find other devices using the default password. Luckily this worm’s activities are not what we’d call malicious. It doesn’t format the root or create a cell based bot-net (that we know of). This would be akin to the antics of searching Google for unprotected installations of MythWeb (http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&source=hp&q=%22Welcome+to+MythWeb%21%22&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=%22Welcome+to+MythWeb%21%22&fp=aa7ac5834e645580) and setting some poor schmuck’s MythTV to record every infomercial ever. The point is, this could have been a lot worse, but the attack is predicated on stupidity. In our digital age, why are people leaving default passwords in place?
Que traducido y resumido significa que la gente que hace jailbreak al iphone y no cambia el password por defecto del SSH puede ser afectada por un gusano que cambia el fondo que tengas por el jeto de rick astley;
