The first virus spread on iPhone

The dangerous code written specifically for Apple's smartphones replaced the victim's phone wallpaper to the image of singer Rick Astley in the 1980s of the last century, then looked for other devices to infect.

The above action is only fun but this deep name Ikee can be edited to steal sensitive information on the phone."This is a real threat to iPhone users , " said advisor Graham Cluley of Sophos (UK) security firm.

However, Ikee only affects those who use iPhone jailbreak (interfered with the system to install unauthorized software) and run a Unix utility called SSH that allows bad guys to connect to the device remotely over the Internet. Some users in Australia have encountered this phenomenon.

Last week, a Dutch hacker tried to infiltrate the iPhone and asked the victim to pay $ 7 if he wanted the phone to be safe.

These annoyances can make users worry but Apple doesn't mind. They have long wanted to end the jailbreak situation, explaining that it could cause security and performance problems.
