After the SSH/Jailbreak worm, Apple talks about the worm:

“The worm affects only a very specific set of iPhone users who have jail broken their iPhones and hacked it with unauthorized software. As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones, and for good reason. These hacks not only violate the warranty, they will also cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.”

So jailbroken iPhone users, I warn you again. If you have SSH installed, change the root password immediately. It’s quite easy to change, and it might save you from a lot of hassle some day!
