UPDATED: Sunday, April 18, 2010: The folks at EmergingThreats pinged me on the fact that immediately after the brief assessment went public, the cybercriminals moved iphone-iphone.info to 174.37.172.68 (SoftLayer Technologies Inc.) Currently responding to the same IP are also the following domains known to have been connected with previous malware campaigns - startexag.com - Email: venterprize@gmail.com; exposingpics.com, and animezhd.com.

The spamvertised domain iphone-iphone.info - 188.210.236.181 - Email: iphone-iphone.info@protecteddomainservices.com, is enticing the end user into download the malware from pepd.org/blackra1n.exe - 188.210.236.109 - Email: pepd.org@protecteddomainservices.com.
