Sophos recommends that people with infected iPhones and iPod Touch devices restore them back to Apple's most recent firmware update. For now, there is no other way to fix the problem.

So either leave your phone open to attack by the worm or have your jailbroke iphone bricked by Apple’s update.

Not a lot of good options here.

The “restore” method doesn’t brick your phone. It resets everything back to factory settings and installs a fresh image copy of the Apple distribution of the iPhone OS and firmware.

But thanks for the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.

"Not a lot of good options here."

Egad. How about "Change your passwords from the factory defaults of 'alpine'"?

Jeez Louise. Was that so hard?
