As you guys may know there has been a lot of talk about this worm going around for people over in Australia. This worm changes your iphone’s wallpaper if using winterboard. The one on the left is the image that is used as a wallpaper/background and the one on the right is the image that is used when your on a phone call.
The only way your iphone can be infected is if you have open ssh installed and you haven’t changed your default ssh password. To sum it all up this is how it got spread, you can also read more to see the full interview on the creator and his thoughts
- Worm creator connects to wireless network with infected iphone
- You or someone else connects to same wireless network and you have openssh installed and default pass
- The worm gets into your iphone from worm creator and you know have the worm
- You leave without knowing of the worm and connect to another wireless network with your infected iphone
- Someone else that has openssh installed with default pass connects to same wireless network and get infected
- The process keeps going and going..
Be safe everyone and change your default password.
