It's about time that someone did this. A hacker by the name of "ikee" created what apparently is the first iPhone worm, though it only affects jailbroken phones currently in Australia. The way it is able to control you phone is that when you jail break the phone every default root password is changed to "alpine", which makes password protection null-in-void. The system changes your wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley and attempts to install itself on other jailbroken phones across the network. We highly recommend you change your root just to be safe.
