> The worm will not affect users who have not jailbroken their iPhones or who have not installed SSH.
So in other words this will have the potential of affecting the minute percentage of users who have jailbroken, AND who installed SSH, AND who were smart enough to do so but were nevertheless stupid enough to keep a default password that is a dictionary word.
Doesn't sound like the makings of a botnet to me... any estimates of how many phones hit so far?
Why people can't take the simplest precautions is beyond me. I agree with the worm author on that point:
> Doesn't anyone RTFM anymore?
Ummm, that would be "no".

Apple iPhone owners in Australia have reported that their smartphones have been infected by a worm that has changed their wallpaper to an image of 1980s pop crooner Rick Astley. THOSE B*STARDS!!
