Apple The web went aflame today with headlines like "First iPhone worm discovered", and many other variants. Most of those headlines, however, left out a very important little fact which diminishes the impact of the news considerably: it only affects jailbroken iPhones with SSH installed, and with default root passwords.

That is just awesome. Better that security issues with phones using proper OSes get attention like this than by sensitive personal information getting taken.

Treat its security like any other computer on a network.
