The popular smartphone iPhone, released by Apple, now can boast its own first Trojan, created especially for it.
According to F-Secure, the trojan has been developed by a 11-year-old child, carrying out experiments with XML files. After a conversation with the experimenter’s father, the site, distributed trojan, was banned.
The trojan disguises itself as an updated package of Erica's utilities, a collection of programs for the command line. This update is recommended for switching the iPhone firmware to version 1.1.3. When installing, the trojan displays the line “shoes”. If you try to delete it, it erases a lot of files, including those of Erica's utilities.
Smartphone iPhone with touch control was released by Apple in summer 2007. iPhone has been actively promoted as a platform for third-party developers. Many features of this device include access to the internet.
