First iPhone Trojan?

[pacohaas]

At 11 I could program at a sophomore in college level.

...and yet now, you fail to fully grasp the English language. I feel bad for the sophomore who you programmed at.

I never liked any sport, or after school activity until they introduced DDR

After playing DDR did you suddenly like sports or are you considering DDR an after school activity? Not saying I agree with the guy who said "you must like sports or else", but seriously, DDR?

Yeah sorry I'm not sold on it being an 11 year old or that someone else could have easily done something much worse.

I'm hard pressed to believe this was an 11 year old for 2 reasons:
1) iPhones are damn expensive, what is an 11 year old doing with an iPhone?
2) I work with xml every day in a professional environment and can't see how I'd be able to trash an iPhone using xml.
3) xml is a type of database, not a programming language. I'd be impressed if an 11 year old could get an rss feed going using an xml database let alone hack an iPhone using it (apparently).

Most 11 year olds I know can count to 2 though so maybe it's not that hard to believe...

It actually surprises me that we haven't seen more viruses for the iPhone, but I must say I'm happy that we haven't. Someone told me about this and said it was all over the place, and of course it was blown out of proportion, but it could have been bad.

Just don't be the first person to try something that shows up, look into it first to see if it's good!

This must be the kid that did it!

another break in?

we also reported of a user in japan who suffered at least what seems to be a break in into his /var/root section and unauthorised directory created. who knows what is happening but android is not the only platform with 'apparent' problems.
