According to Costin Raiu from Kapersey Labs, a new spam campaign that is currently in circulation advertises a Trojan as an iPhone jailbreaking progrm “Greenpoison”. Users hoping to use the code to jailbreak their devices re instead being tricked into downloading a Trojan used to steal passwords from desktop computers. The virus allows the malware creators to intercept the victim’s visited sites, usernames, passwords, bank account information such as numbers and passwords. Additionally many fake iOS 4.1 jailbreak sites are cropping up, claiming to jailbreak any iOS device running any iOS version for $25 to $40. In order to stay safe, never open suspicious links or attachments without scanning them first.

If you are looking for a legit iOS jailbreak and unlock tool, thenyou may use BlackSn0w, Blackra1n, Redsn0w, PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze, SpiritJB, or JailbreakMe 2.0 Star. Don’t be fooled by these Trojans and keep in mind that there is currently no working jailbreaking tool for the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2 or iOS 4.1. For all future jailbreak and unlock software releases, follow us on Twitter and/or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Important: For those of you who don’t know, GreenPoison is NOT a jailbreak tool but a cross-platform iBoot payload toolkit that helps hackers discover new vulnerabilities and design super fast, low-level iBoot jailbreaks and exploit payloads.
