This is contrary to what these developers and some proponents of jailbreaking are saying: don't do it if you don't know what you're doing or what's happening. What's there to know? Just download, install and click. If all jailbreakers knew what was happening to their iPhones when jailbroken then we wouldn't have the worms. Apparently, this is not the case in Australia and the Netherlands. The problem is, the jailbreak developers have made it so easy that all it takes is one or two clicks and then you’re done.

It is best to keep the stock configuration and not jailbreak the phone. Jailbreaking, with all its faults and vulnerabilities, has its benefits but it must be used cautiously. There are very simple solutions to this worm and that is to change the default SSH password or simply turn off SSH when not in use. If the user does not know what he is doing.
