iPhone Virus – Aiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yahoo reported today a virus that infects jailbroken iPhones has been released into the wild.  (See story here)  Apparently the worm will change your phone’s wall paper.  In order to be infected, you must be running SSH and have left the default password on the service.  I’d expect more of these kinds of viruses as smart phones get smarter and more distributed.
