:stop First Ever iPhone Worm Rick Rolls Australia

Well, this hacker has quite the sense of humor.

Reports started spreading this weekend that iPhone users in Australia had been falling victim to "ikee," a worm that replaces default wallpaper with a picture of Rick Astley, the British pop singer whose song "Never Gonna Give You Up" has gained eternal infamy thanks to the mainstreaming of the "Rickrolling" prank craze.

Important note:
affects only jailbroken iPhones whose owners have installed SSH and neglected to change the default root password, ?alpine.?
