Guess who the Trojan doesnt spare? -- iPhone

Due Credit: Techrepublic

Just when we thought that the iPhone was secure ,an annoying little program showed that it was possible to develop Trojans targeting the iPhone.

According to the US Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT), software called "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep" is available online for iPhone users.

As per reports, it looks mild and the site that distributed the iPhone malware has now been shut down. So there is no chance to get infected from 1.1.3 prep in the future, said F-secure.

"Ubuntu is by far the fastest growing Linux distribution," said Kir Kolyshkin, manager of the OpenVZ project. "We wanted to give our users a fast, easy way to deploy Ubuntu in a virtualized environment."
