I-Phone Worm
According to the specialists from F-Secure, a company specialized in protecting different software, a new worm for Iphone was created, and this one is more powerful than ever.
First of all, this worm’s targets are the people from Europe, especially from Nederland, who are using the ING services directly from their Iphone, in order to make payments.
Practically, the worm will redirect the users to a fake page, identically with the ING home banking, that will require ID and Password. Luckily I don’t wear ID lanyards that day and forgotten my ID, just joking.
Even if until now, there are just isolated cases in Nederland, this worm has a big potential of spreading. Also, according to the officials from F-Secure, this worm can manifest as a botnet too.
This means that the infected IPhones will offer the possibility to be controlled from distance, similar to a Radmin software. This type of consequence will allow the ones who will be in charge of the Iphone to see everything, especially passwords to bank accounts or any other similar things.
This is why this worm is so dangerous. And due to the developed risk factors, the officials form F-Secure recommend to not use any home banking system from the Iphone, at least for a period.
