That's true -- I meant to say "carriers." My understanding of the worm (and the source was online briefly but I did not examine it in any depth) was that it scanned the IP address blocks of the carriers that sold iPhones in Australia. I presume for the sake of simplicity; it certainly could have scanned other carriers' ranges anyway.
