The unemployed Australian computer whiz who last month generated headlines around the world by creating a landmark virus affecting iPhones announced Friday he had scored a job writing application software for iPhones.
Ashley Towns released a harmless worm that installed on the iPhone wallpaper a photograph of 1980s pop singer Rick Astley. The 21-year-old said it was a wake up call for iPhone owners who “jailbreak” their devices and leave them unprotected by pass codes.
Towns, who claims his Rickrolling worm is the first successful assault on the security system of the glamorous Apple Inc product, is joining leading Australian iPhone application developer Mogeneration Pty Ltd.
