There’s another new worm with botnet functionality hunting for jailbroken iPhones.

This new worm only affects Jailbroken iPhones that have SSH installed and who’s owners have not yet changed the iPhone default password. This worm connects via a web based command & control center at 92.61.38.16, somewhere in deepest darkest Lithuania.

Fortunately at this point in time the worm is not widespread. It is however much more serious than the first iPhone worm. This new iPhone worm attempts to steal information from the mobile devices.
