Right now, I can access all your files". Question is, how one can find all jailbreaked iPhones on a telecom network, well I think that can't be done unless the hacker has some inside help from that operator. iPhone Hacked Hacker are usually able to find/access iPhones because of the fact that all iPhones have same default root password 'alpine' which everyone knows, and people usually forget to change the default password after jailbreaking, leaving their phone vulnerable to intrusion and hacking. The very first and a simple thing iPhone users can do to secure their iPhones is to change default root password <a href="http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/09/238469/First-ever-iPhone-worm-Ikee-unleashed-by-Aussie-hacker.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/09/238469/First-ever-iPhone-worm-Ikee-unleashed-by-Aussie-hacker.htm</a> The first worm targeting Apple's iPhone has been unleashed by an Australian hacker.

Adobe has not yet published a patch itself, but recently added a link to Microsoft's instructions on its web site. Because of the lack of time, Adobe says it has not been able to test Microsoft's procedure fully, so recommends further testing in your own work environment. Adobe has categorised the vulnerability as critical (CVE-2010-2883) <a href="http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/DLL-hole-now-affects-EXE-files-1076847.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/DLL-hole-now-affects-EXE-files-1076847.html</a> <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/10/email_worm_spreading/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/10/email_worm_spreading/</a> <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/08/adobe_reader_0day/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/08/adobe_reader_0day/</a> Researchers have uncovered sophisticated attack code circulating on the net that exploits a critical vulnerability in the most recent version of Adobe Reader.

The vulnerability was classified as being of the ‘zero-day’ type when it was detected, and has been used by the notorious Stuxnet worm. Worm.Win32.Stuxnet is remarkable in that it is basically an industrial espionage tool: it is designed to gain access to the Siemens WinCC operating system which is responsible for data collection and monitoring production. <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-sep.mspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-sep.mspx</a> Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for September 2010 hotdoge3 on "Facebook Users Hit with Clickjacking Worm" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7580#post-78114 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:00:22 +0000 hotdoge3 78114@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ NoScript not hard to fix if you know how you can Pick Temporarly allow = Temp or Allow or add in the white list it the same as Allow is all time do this now only new one will ask you, I allso add in the whitelist bebo facebook clipmarks mywot.net mywot.com siteadvisor.com virustotal.com recaptcha.net and check to see if some get in you don't need. goodgotd on "Facebook Users Hit with Clickjacking Worm" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7580#post-77806 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 18:45:43 +0000 goodgotd 77806@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Well worth the time killing the NoScript homepage each time it or FlashGot get updated, too. When I install Firefox, NoScript, FlashGot and Free Download Manager go in with it. Ok, if it's just to play online gaming sites like Pogo I skip the last 2. WOT, GoogleSharing and PDF Download are the next level. The first and last are optional if the browser is going *only* to Pogo, but GoogleSharing makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing I'm confusing the Chocolate Factory at least a little. automagically. NoSquint if the monitor is small- 15" or smaller it's must-have though it's right handy even on bigger if your eyes are bad. FoxLingo if it's going to go to overseas sites, and personally I like Hostname in Titlebar. On the other hand, isn't it a deep irony that GAOTD just went on Facebook?

Copmom, it does take a little getting used to in terms of "training" NoScript to know which sites to block or not block, which is something you can designate by "right-clicking" the "options" NoScript menu (at bottom of page), as Robert rightly mentions.

Oh, I installed NoScript, and I think it's a pain in the rear.. keeps giving me pop up message boxes, maybe I need to 'train' it or something? At the moment I've temporarily disabled it.
