If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you could be in big trouble. A vulnerability in whats called the SSH gives hackers free access to your phone. Open SSH is supposed to encrypt your traffic on Internet, but the version installed in the jailbroken version has the same password for root users. A Dutch hacker recently hijacked several iPhones, forcing the owners to pay him to open up their phones again. If this SSH-talk is all jibberish to you, just follow this link to Redmond Pie to secure your phone. It’s pretty easy, even for low tech users.
