2008 and already we’re worrying about scary Trojans that will infect and destroy all our precious electronics.  I’m tellin’ ya, the moment something rad gets invented, someone finds a way to mess it up, ruin it, and scare the pants off you thinking you’re going to fall victim to it!  What’s this world coming to?!

Ok, enough dramatic overreaction, now down to business.  What I say is true and there is floating around out there, a fake iPhone upgrade that just might get into your beloved touchscreen goodness and infect the whole thing.  According to the article I just read, “This Trojan claims to be a tool used to prepare the device for an upgrade to firmware version 1.1.3…When a user installs the Trojan, other application components are altered. If the Trojan is uninstalled, the affected applications may also be removed.”

In a word, Yikes.  Beware of this for all you mobile warriors out there that are just trying to get your iPhone to its most modern state.  Beware indeed.  So before you go installing anything wild on your phone, consult with Apple first.  Be smart.
