21-year-old Australian Ashley Towns - the guy that created the first ever iPhone worm, ikee - revealed via Twitter that he got a job at mogeneration, a company that develops iPhone apps, mostly for other clients such as TrueLocal, FoodWatch and Xumii.
It's only logical. After all, an iPhone worm is still an application of some sort, right? However, senior security consultant at Sophos Graham Cluley is disappointed that Towns is "rewarded" for writing an iPhone worm. From the Sophos' blog:
"Don't get me wrong - I don't think virus writers shouldn't be allowed to rehabilitate and do something worthwhile with their lives. But 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. Will Towns be offering a token $5 compensation to all those he infected for the inconvenience he caused? I doubt it."
