The hacker that managed to develop the first virus for the Apple phone and 'infected' thousands of phones with a picture of Rick Astley, has been hired by Mogeneration, an Australian company that develops' software '.
Ashley Towns intended to "wake people up a bit", according to ABC radio when the worm spread. The virus was not malicious and even gave the keys to disable the affected users.
Now, the hacker 21 years devoted their time to develop applications for the phone that got infected with the wallpaper of the singer from the 80's.
An expert in security firm Sophos says the BBC "leaving the impression that has been rewarded for this, but did not say he is sorry for his actions."
"It's ironic that users of iPhones that have not been 'hacked' can now be seen using applications whose code has been written by a virus writer. "
