Another iphone worm identified

A Dutch internet service provider has identified a worm that installs a backdoor on jailbroken iPhones and makes them part of a botnet. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/22/malicious_iphone_worm/

I wonder how many more of these we will get. I imagine quite a few

Oops!

Again, this is on jailbroken iPhones. Jailbreaking = removing protection. If you jailbreak and don't change the root password, then you're stupid (in the nicest possible way)!

Ok,what happens to your O2 configurations if you insert a different operators SIM is it reconfigured for the new operator i.e SMS multimedia etc or do the changes have to made manually . Can you then switch back to your O2 SIM and the origin setup returns. Well that's confused me

Start again, does iTunes seamlessly allow the switching of SIM cards and from different operators without a manual configuration update afterwards.

Got an Orange sim card on Order to test that very theory

I just wanted the phone unlocked for selling it, but we shall see what happens, I think the idea is iTunes configures your phone for the new sim, then if you change back its reconfigured again, O2 are a bit unclear on that.
