After all the hype of the two hacks that have accured in Australia and Germany where users will access the filesystem of a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch through SSH and change stuff on the phone.
As of now, the hacks have been harmless because they simply changed the background of the device but this exploit has the potential to add worms and viruses to your device which could then be used to infect your computer once you have synced it.
Even Charlie Miller, a very well known cyber security expert, has expressed his worry over the exploit.
As he says Apple have their devices very well protected but once users jailbreak them, these protection become less powerful. He is sure that in the next few months, users who do NOT change their SSH password will be vulnerable to a rising number of attacks targetting jailbroken iPhones.
He STRONGLY recommend you to change your SSH password to make sure this does not happen to you. For a guide on how to do that, go HERE.
