I don't want to create an H1N1-like panic, but it still seems like there are too many people out there who don't take their iPhone security seriously enough. Insecure iPhones have been the target of malicious hackers for a while now, unfortunately it seems like some more skilled actors entered the game and we're facing an outburst of iPhone eating worms. The issue is serious as those evil viruses do not only spread on their own (apparently even over the network) but they actually try to steal your personal data or access your bank accounts. So watch out by avoiding open WiFi networks and  if you jailbroke your phone, by changing your default SSH password.
