A few days a go we published a post about a  hacking tool that was developed and started attacking jail-broken iPhones. This week again news out there suggests that there has been another developed tool which targets and attacks vulnerable jail-broken iPhones. The most affected ones with this new tool are those which have SSH installed in them, also if the default password was not changed, this makes it even easier for the attack to propagae. So, this worm gains access to the vulnerable iPhone, changes the default password to something 'unmentionable', then spreads itself out or throws up a funny picture.

What kind of damage it does?
Well, just like the other one, the worlm steals your information and send it to servers somewhere and that's how crooks gets access to your personal data and start the stealing spree.

If you are one of the people with that kind of phone, you may want to read the previous post on how to protect your phone and also learn how to protect your phone from this new attach via Paul Ducklin's blog blog.
