		<description>Like Ikee worm, this new kind of malware affects only jail broken iPhones which have SSH installed and have not changed the default password.

Once the worm is executed, it connects to a control-center located in Lithuania and its main malicious action is to try to steal information from the mobile device to report to the hacker center).
Fortunately the worm is not widespread but users owning mobile devices, like iPhones should be very careful of this new threat.

Where you can, try and avoid running a “jail breaking” process on your mobile device. Jail breaking tools generally install a software program called OpenSSH, which allows you to control your device remotely and therefore can be controlled by third-parties as well as yourself, thus allowing for vulnerability and control of your device.

In order to avoid such problems, it is advisable to avoid installations of applications not approved by Apple.
