The first worm virus has been observed on the iPhone according to the internet security company called F-Secure. It is supposedly only attacking jailbroken iPhones and has not changed the root password from its original setting.

The cvirus is called “Ikee” and creates a new wall paper on your iPhone with Rick Astley on it.

This is probably just the pre-cursor of more to come – more serious viruses.

The newly detected worm with the name “Ikee” does not make much harm but internet security companies warn that worse things are yet to come.

Iphone users hit by the “Ikee” virus will get the ri wall papers changed to a picture of the pop singer from the 80’s called Rick Astley. The message “Ikee is never going to give you up” is also written on the screen.

The message reflects the internet event Rickrolling where the net users were tricked to click on a link that lead them to the music video with Rick Astley singing “Never going to give you up”.

The iPhone worm is only spread on phones which are jailbroken, that is hacked and the operator lock is broken enabling the users to use any operator and software not authorized by Apple.

The worm only succeed to attack phones that have not changed the default root password that was on the phone at purchase. The password is “alpine”.

The worm is spread through the network protocol SHH (Secure Shell) according to F-Secure. After the startup picture is changed the worm “Ikee” turns off the SHH serfvice on your phone and protects it against any new infections.

The creator of this worm has published the source code for the four existing variants of the worm. This opens for new variants very quick as people begin to explore the code in detail and refine this.

Mikko Hypponen, a security expert at F-Secure has written about this worm on his blogg.

The Mac Community that enormously grew up during last years, hanged together around its brand although the opening to mainstream market with the universal success of iPhone or the crossing to Intel processors. A faith multiplied with mass conversions arrived from PC world, periodically ridiculed by on the beam campaigns quickly turned into web cults.

But although it’s one of the most conversed brand of the Internet Age, Apple is not conversing at all! There are no Ceo or managers writing Biz Blogs or least of all twittering their job days. The giant, pullulating Social Thing about the crunched fruit, happens entirely and respectfully out of its closed doors.

We don’t know Anything about Apple, their products, their managers but the bare minimum and in the ways decided by Cupertino under an almost military severity. Steve Jobs, the spiritual leader, had recently a liver transplant covered by an absolute secrecy while from the headquarter they denied to the world every further communications. We’re still talking of a publicly-traded company, whose up and downs envolve thousands of wallets out there.

Nevertheless, this bunker strategy also mentioned some time ago by NY Times, works great and rewards its authors with booming sells, exploding Brand Awareness and a draining out Brand Equity.

In a recent interview at Royal College of Art, Mr. Jony Ive, the prodigy designer responsible of the irresistible look of  all Mac products, released a statement that perfectly tunes with that Apple anti-social philosophy. According to him, they also shrug off testing their projects through canonical marketing tools like focus groups. “We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products.
