He claims the authorship of the first worm that can infect Apple’s iPhone. Called “Ikee,” the first “worm” in the smartphone brand of apple is  harmless and does not contaminate the original iPhones, but only the ones that are unlocked by their own users. Often, owners unlock the iPhone to install applications that have not been approved by Apple … but they do so at their own risk.
