This Sophos guy was a bit dismayed that the general public condoned the worm creator's effort of finding that ikee iphone worm and test driving it. If you think about from a security aspect, you should inform the makers (i.e. Apple) who can put a fix for it. But the iphone would have to be 'broken' anyways. For the general public, they would like to know if there is an issue with their iphone and this can only make awareness in security better. That said, the guy did argue, more hackers are looking for the ikee source code so that can level more malicious payloads.
Here some useful tidbits on securing your file upload including filtering. You can send a malware dummy file (from eicar) to test.
