iPhone worm developer lands job at iPhone app firm
The infamous 21-year-old Ashley Towns—known for the recent “Ikee” iPhone exploit/worm—has landed a legitimate job as an iPhone application developer at mogeneration, according to his personal Twitter account. Towns hadn’t faced any criminal consequences for his undoubtedly illegal actions, and instead landed quite a good job. Do you think Ashley Towns got what he deserved, or should he have seen misfortune for his actions instead?

A second worm affecting jailbroken iPhones has been discovered, this one specifically targeting users of Dutch bank ING. It redirects users to a lookalike login page, presumably to steal their login information. Now, before everyone freaks out about iPhones being used for bank robbery, keep in mind that—like the previous iPhone worm—the user has to have SSH installed, and they can’t have changed the default SSH password.
