It’s about time. An iPhone Trojan has been unveiled. The mastermind- an 11-year-old kid.
But seriously, the first Trojan attack is going by the name of “113 prep.” Once launched, the app displays “shoes,” then causes damage to or deletes system-critical files in the /bin directory on the iPhone.
Also on the menu: “thurkey.” Thanks to Eric for pointing out this great deli stand.
Good to know that our NYC taxis are powered by these great Windows- based navigation systems. Maybe those cabbies should have stuck to their guns while striking last year.
All I can say is- good thing the navigation system isn’t driving the cabs -yet-
To see realtime filesystem usage in MacOSX:
fs_usage
Also useful for checking what exactly an app is doing:
fs_usage -w -f filesys | grep AppName
Today, BusinessWeek is reporting that Sony BMG has agreed to offer music for sale without DRM. Of course it was only last week when Warner added DRM-free tunes to Amazon’s MP3 store.
The music should be available for Amazon’s 1 billion song MP3 Superbowl promo with Pepsi.
No more rootkits, I suppose.
