If you do the fix. Noted above, it will stop all attacks currently known.
This attack is major as the possiablities are endless. The first step is to change that password, period. 2nd do the steps on that link. And your good to go until we see something new show up.

Ill post a link when I find the thread I read. This was actually done by a guy an Australian guy. The first report I read was that he developed it as a joke and charged (= to 5 bucks usd) people to know how to fix it. He accessed all of the users in Australia on the T-Mobile network. And sent the sms message to everyone that had the security hole. He also was caught and said he would refund all money sent to him. The same article I also read provided the fix. As it patches the 3 holes which allow people to exploited the jail broken phones with ssh.
