Should I be worried?
Got this email last should I be worried? Wouldn't my wifi need to be on for someone to access my phone using SSH. Has anyone received this also?

Jailbreaking does not automatically install SSH. You install that afterwards through Cydia.
But everything that guy has said is spot on :/The Original Autobot of MMiJesus couldn't turn into a fire engine

My question would also be, how did this person get your email address?

Some guy logged into his phone over SSH using password alpine and retrieved his email address, then emailed him a surprisingly nice email with instructions on changing your ssh password using mobile terminal.
Lesson here is to change your SSH password so no one can connect to your phone!The Original Autobot of MMiJesus couldn't turn into a fire engine

I would be worried if I were you. But he obviously just wanted to teach you a lesson instead of doing you any harm. You never know though.

Type in passwd in the ssh prompt.

I tried that already. I put in the new password, hit save and nothing. That's when I started looking in "help", winscp homepage, and here. Weird. Thanks though.
