Should read… “Jailbroken” iPhone worm.
Troublemaker said what I was about to post… John really skimmed headlines today without getting the details.
Not a Rick Astley movie either, just the wallpaper gets changed plus some other things happen.
Also, it’s not enough to merely have a jailbroken phone. You are only vulnerable if you haven’t changed the default password for SSL. So, only some negligent hackers are affected.
First rule of blogging, never let facts get in the way of a good headline.
John, I’m going to use your own “bitch” against you. In the latest NA you bitched about people not putting source links in their articles. Yet you don’t even use source links here.
A Nookie Reader? Did I hear that young Mr Dvorak correctly?
Admob, ah yes, another piece of ad-crap for Ghostery to handle. No problem.
#6 So if someone is running 7 via bootcamp on a mac, and it gets infected by a virus, guess that means the mac is vulnerable, or as you put it “a sift for malware”. Jailbroken iPhones means the software was altered to let more applications to run on it (to include malware).
This bores me, let me know when an iPhone has not been jailbroken gets some malware, that will be interesting.
BTW, I’m a Blackberry, Mac and Windows 7 user
About the droid. I don’t see why they don’t make these things with either a battery that is easy to pop out and swap out or simply use a bigger battery or at least offer it as an option.
I guess I don’t get it. You could make the thing a tad thicker and make the battery a heck of a lot bigger on many of these phones. I don’t like being caught with a dead phone but it looks like a lot of people don’t mind all that much.
