first of all this story must be exagerated. Any GSM provider is going to have the SSH port closed. This guy must have been scanning a common wifi network.
so as long as your wifi is off nobody is going to “hack” your iphone.

Obviously you need to change your root passwd. this goes without saying.

If you have TouchTerm installed (it costs money, but I already owned it), you can get around the crashing of MobileTerminal. Use TouchTerm to ssh to the localhost after installing the OpenSSH package. Works like a charm.

AND I can’t say enough nice things about TouchTerm. Totally worth every penny I paid for it. Seemingly bulletproof software.

If you’re not running ssh on the jailbroken iphone do you still need to change your root password?

install issh from cydia and ssh into 127.0.0.1 (your localhost) as root, do passwd to change the root's password.

THe reason why you do not see anything is because terminal wont show what you are typing even tho you are typing even windows computers do that when you are changing passwords from command prompt
