Me pointing out that mobileterminal doesnt work on 3.1.2 serves the purpose to let others know who are running that firmware not to think there is a problem. I tried to boot up MT a dozen times and it would always crash and made the effort to find a fix to realize it doesnt work on 3.1.2.

Will changing the SSH PW impact future Jailbreaking or installation of any JB apps? Do any of these need the root PW to install? Simple tutorial and very easy to change by the way.

At least ikee didnt change everyones ring tone to ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’…. Now THAT would have been a horrible hack.

@Thor E

how is this an iPhone weakness? This affects people who jailbreak their devices, something apple clearly does not endorse.

iPhone isn’t the first smartphone to have a virus, Symbian has had them ages.

Wow. The iphone weaknesses keep coming out of the woodwork. I'd just avoid the thing all together. Too much suckage.

Congrats on being the first smartphone with a virus.

One wonders if Apple isn’t silently cheering. Maybe sending money.

Count me in as thinking it’s hilarious. But I wonder, why has it taken people so long to decide to do this crazy simple hack? Jailbreak has been around for over 2 years! Maybe it’s just certain European providers where the 3G smartphones all show up in a particular IP range accepting incoming SSH connections?

Ok. Found this on tiib

So, what’s SSH?

The first thing you would like to know is what SSH is. SSH stands for secure shell that is commonly used in Unix/Linux environment. You can use SSH to access a remote a computer and execute commands from another machine that may be miles away. Additionally, you can use it to transfer files to the remote computer, just like FTP. I’m not going to dig deep and throw out all the technical details about SSH. But just remember, SSH is a tool that lets you access machine or devices remotely. Here, the device is your iPhone.
