Rickrolling Worm Infects Jailbroken iPhones
A number of iPhones in Australia have reportedly been infected by a worm that replaces the background wallpaper with an image of 80’s pop icon Rick Astley.
“The worm, which could have spread to other countries although we have no confirmed reports outside Australia, is capable of breaking into jailbroken iPhones if their owners have not changed the default password after installing SSH,” explained Sophos security researcher Graham Cluley. “Once in place, the worm appears to attempt to find other iPhones on the mobile phone network that are similarly vulnerable and installs itself again.”
If you have a jailbroken iPhone/iTouch and installed SSH, you must change the default password before you become rick-rolled.
Dell’s Android spotted in Brazil & FCC Approves Dell Mini 3iX
Dell’s Android-based Mini 3iX has surfaced in Brazil with support for Wi-Fi and 3G UMTS/HSDPA on 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz bands, according to photos posted on the Brazilian site CelularCafe.
The earlier rumors claimed the build quality of the US version should be improved, while the 3 megapixel camera will be swapped for a 5 megapixel variant.
The Mini 3iX reportedly features a 3.5-inch touchcreen with 640×360 resolution, GPS, Exchange support, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, and a MicroSD slot. Interface screenshots show a different style than the Ophone design used in the Chinese 3i, with a layout closer to the stock Android configuration.
- As shown below, it seems that Dell Mini 3iX is all set to hit the shelves. This can be concluded from recent reports from UnwiredView which states that the Dell handset has received approval from FCC.
Long awaited competition for Google’s G1 should be out with AT&T as the first Android phone early 2010.
HTC Legend not a legend anymore
As we promised, we bring you more info on HTC Legend. In fact, we present you exclusive crystal clear image of the upcoming Android phone from HTC. We suppose it will replace Hero, considering the dimensions, screen size and specs. Besides the AMOLED HVGA screen (16 million colors) it features optical mouse (or should we say optical trackpoint?). Legend will probably be announced in Barcelona (World Mobile Congress 2010) and hit the streets (or mobile operators) in march 2010. It certainly does resemble the Hero, but Legend will have metallic frame and will also feature updated versions of HTC People and Footprints. Let’s not forget LED flash, something the Hero really misses, and a 600MHz processor. Green bottom is probably going to change… What do you thing on Legend vs Bravo ? Will you even consider HVGA after WVGA and Bravo appear ?
Update: Specs sheet is now correct, the screen is HVGA !
