Rick Astley and the world’s first iPhone virus
Rick Astley is never gonna give you up, let you down or gonna run around and desert you. He may, however, share an infection with you. Don’t worry, it’s not the clap or anything--get your mind out of the gutter. No no, Astley is an involuntary part of the world’s first iPhone virus.
A 21-year-old hacker from Australia claims to be the first person to infect the iPhone and he chose a cheeky way to show the Apple gadget's shaky security. The virus spreads between phones via calls and the only real damage is swapping out the infected device’s wallpaper to a picture of 80s pop star Astley.
If you see Astley’s smirking face on your iPhone (and don’t want it there), just swap out your password and say bay-bye to Rick with the delete button.
Ring, ring, ring...it's all sorts of iPhone news (sans Rick Astley).
