iPhone worm creator Ashley Towns gets hired!

Recently, Towns had alarmed the jail broken iPhone owners with the first iPhone worm. The worm created by exploiting the loop hole in iPhone OS grabbed the attention of employers!

Ashley Towns on Twitter tweeted that he got a job as iPhone Developer, and Graham Cluley, Security Analyst at Sophos Labs, once again criticized this development just like he did in Mooney's case. Cluley pointed out, in the blog post, that the first iPhone worm lead to creation of a new dangerous worm that steals financial information from iPhones and iPod Touch, reports Techtree.

    Well, if you can't beat them, hire them 😉

    Hopefully his intent is not malicious. He could probably assist in security fixes, but being an official developer gives him opportunities to slip in any worms under a legitimate pretext.
