    Apple will possibly tell these infected by the virus that it told them so. Jail-breaking an iPhone is like driving without safety belt. Can be extremely exciting but very dangerous. Apple said that it kept the App store approval process extremely tight to avoid these exact problems. Expect the forthcoming worms to be even nastier.
