First iPhone Trojan horse reported
Posted by Robert Vamosi 

Seen more as a prank than an actual threat, a Trojan horse for the Apple
iPhone, first reported on Saturday, has already come and gone. Still,
users should be on the look out for a package called "iPhone firmware
1.1.3 prep," described as something you need to install before updating
to the new 1.1.3 firmware. Billed as an "important system update," the
code does little more than cause annoyance. According to various
sources, once the Trojan is installed it simply displays the word
"shoes."
