Yes you got it right, a computer virus for a phone. It is programmed to get into the user's banking information and steal their pin number. Luckily it can only attack the user who still has their default settings and default password. Iphones have been hacked to run apple. The good news is that it is only in sweden for now and the victims of this bug are in the "hundreds" So basically no one. The bad news it that it can spread from Iphone to iphone using a wifi; sort of like humans communicating and spreading germs through breath. No one still knows who started this virus, but awhile ago this one 21 year old 80's pop singer did it as an inexpensive joke to give people the message to change their default passwords.
Do what it says, change your default password. It's for your own good. They have told you the truth. If you don't want to go bankrupt then change your password, if you want to go bankrupt then it's fine with me. I think programming technology has become really advanced (dw, it's not "TOO" advanced, that was just a flashy title). Programmers could possibly shut down the entire internet if they could get an advanced enough virus. They could hack into weapons of mass destruction's programming and cause major havoc. Anyway, that is just an exaggerated guess.
