It’s an exploit of systems and users who are exposed by JailBreak issues. If you jailbreak your phone, read the directions and you’ll never get infected by ikee virus. Because a bunch of people didn’t change their SSH default password, you suddenly have the first iPhone virus? No, you have a bunch of people who think they are l33t h4xx0rz for jailbreaking their phone and not reading directions.
People need to stop calling this a virus, and call it what is it… exposing why you should NOT jailbreak your phone and love Apple for creating a platform that has been tested. The moment you jailbreak, you break the stuff that Apple has been steadfast in defending… the quality of the platform they built.
