There is a new worm that is worse than the last one, and it "seems to try to steal information from the devices."

It is not wide spread, but you should still be careful.

F-Secure states,
"We've received a sample of a malicious iPhone worm with botnet functionality.

Like the Ikee worm, it only affects Jailbroken iPhones which have SSH installed and have not changed the default password.

This one connects to a web-based command & control center running at 92.61.38.16 in Lithuania."

They said they would update as they learn more.

Subject: Warning about a very destructive virus


Check snopes at site below:


                        http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp 
 
  I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! 
 
 I checked snopes.com , and it is for real!! 
 
 Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP. 
 
  PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS! 
 
 You should be alert during the next few days.  Do not open any message with an attachment entitled "POSTCARD," regardless of who sent it to you.  It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list.  This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts.  It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. 
 
 If you receive a mail called" POSTCARD," even though sent to you by a friend, do not! open it ! 
 
 This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.  This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.  This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

SNOPES.COM has the last report in October of 2006, but there could be a new version? It is a real worm. Thank you Terry L. for this valuable info. Sincerely and respectfully, Electra "I checked this one out before I would forward, it says it is real. Terry A warning, you must pay attention!!!! Warn everyone you know through e-mail, not to open an e-mail with "Mail Server Report" in the subject line. This one is real! Urgent!! This is a Please don't open! This one checks out and is a bonafide real virus so hence the warning. Any email with "Mail Server Report" in the subject line is a new virus And should not be opened. It comes with an attachment in 'zip format'. Apparently there is a Zip file attached so be very leery of anything with a zip file on it. The message tells you that a worm was detected in an e-mail that you sent out and asks you to open and install the attachment to fix the Problem. Only, it IS the problem! DO NOT ! DO I T! Delete the e-mail. This is a real threat." You can check it out at snopes: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp
