Worm (no, not him) attacks iPhone!

Jailbroken phones are at risk, but only those that have SSH installed (which I don't). Is nothing safe from malware? [no]

In fairness, it required someone to Jailbreak their iPhone, install a program which lets you mess around with the inner workings and then not change the password http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/unsure1.gif

Not exactly vulnerable ... but also not idiot-proof http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/tongue1.gif

On the subject of Jailbroken iPhones, I'm really tempted to do mine at the moment so that I can throw the Doom 2 .wad into Doom Classic. Happily going to download Doom 2 Classic from the App Store however / whenever it's released but I'm loving the original so much at the moment that I just need more! right now!

The funniest thing is that Apple OS users believed they couldn't be hacked. The only reason it hasn't happened before is because there was no profit in it.

Do it you won't regret it. Not only is my 2g noticeably faster after the jailbreak, but I now have a lot more options for software as well as free ringtones and themes. Jailbreaking has made me love the iPhone again. Just stay away from the MMS solution that is "out" there for the 2g. It installs really easy, but doesn't work and bricked my phone. It was easy to recover, but a pain nonetheless.

The MMS app for 2G does work....or at least it did on firmware v 3.0.1; I installed it and managed to send an MMS to myself. That one was called "Activate MMS2G". The one that's supposed to work with the latest firmware version, "Native MMS iPhone 2G", well I tried it, and it didn't work.

Edit: I should add that in order to be able to insert the correct carrier settings after installing Activate MMS2G I had to follow this guide. It did work in the end though.

Native MMS iPhone 2G is the one I tried. You get no camera icon in the messaging section. All the guides are the same and they are full of comments like, "This does not work for me". I tried uninstalling it when it didn't work and that is when I bricked my phone. Activate MMS2G did work, just not with the new firmware.

When I tried installing Native MMS I went to "Settings" and the options for MMS that were supposed to be there weren't, so I uninstalled it. Luckily I didn't have any problems doing so.

In fairness its only effects jailbroken phones who have SSH installed who haven't changed the default password. I don't see how any of that is apples fault.
