It appears that the once “harmless” Jailbroken iPhone worm that was used by a teenager to Rick Roll his friends, has become a bit more malicious, stealing banking data and other personal information.
So far the worm is only affecting jailbroken iPhones in the Netherlands, running SSH, that use ING Direct for their banking needs. Although the number infected is only currently in the hundreds, the worm is spread via shared Wi-Fi so the potential is decently large especially given the increasing amount of public Wi-Fi spots.
The problem, as it was last time, is with users that do not change the default password for SSH (which is “alpine”) allowing remote access to the jailbroken phone.
ING and Apple have already released warnings.
Result for: last time
According to new research data from Net Applications , Mozilla’s Firefox browser has finally surpassed the 20 percent market share milestone and seems to be taking market share from leader Internet Explorer at a growing pace.
Since the last time the research firm gathered data, Firefox moved up from 19.97 percent to 20.78 percent. Because it is taking away market share mainly from Internet Explorer, the unstable browser has now fallen to under 70 percent market share for the first since 1998. At its peak in 2003, Internet Explorer controlled 95 percent of the browser market.
Apple’s Safari browser jumped up a percent as well to 7.13 percent and Google’s new, but buggy, Chrome browser jumped to 0.83 percent.
