Rickroll virus author hired by iPhone app company
Published: 27 Nov 2009 08:53 GMT
Ashley Towns, the Australian behind the ikee iPhone worm that replaced the background picture of insecure jailbroken iPhones, has reportedly been hired by Sydney company Mogeneration.
The BBC reports that a spokesperson for iPhone app developers Mogeneration said: "We interviewed Ashley, assessed him with our iPhone developer test — which he passed with flying colours — and we employed him today."
The news has drawn fire from Sophos security consultant Graham Cluley, who wrote in his blog: "It jars with me that Towns has shown no regret for what he did, and that now his utterly irresponsible behaviour appears to have been rewarded."
