Dear iPhone Users:
If you have jailbroken your first-gen or 3G iPhone, change your root password. If you have jailbroken your iPhone, your default root password is “alpine.” This puts you at a distinct security disadvantage when connected to open networks as it allows the nefarious to browse your entire iPhone with impunity. This is pretty old news but I was just reminded how dangerous this is this morning when an iPhone showed up on my open wireless network and made itself “available” to my ministrations. If you have not jailbroken your iPhone, rest easy. You’re not at risk.
