iPhone worm maker gets a Job

Ashley Towns the first one to exploit the SSH loophole on Jailbroken iPhone has secured a job with iPhone app developers Mogeneration. The iKee maker gave a rude wakeup call to the iPhone community demonstrating how easily jailbroken iPhone’s can be hacked. Though his worm wasn’t a harmful one, but it did case ripples. After many sites (including us) posted guides to secure one from this exploit, another dangerous malware using the same exploit to steal bank data was discovered.

Ashley sure did a great job of warning the community and certainly proved his skills on the iTouch platform while doing so. Though its not that every iPhone / PC virus maker should be rewarded with a Job, but sometime thats how one makes his presence / talent felt.
