Worm Developed for Nokia Series-60 Phones

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the reducing-cell-phone-calls-is-not-a-bad-thing dept.

Tuxedo Jack writes "It had to happen. The first worm designed specifically for cellular phones has been developed, and Cabir appears to be a way of effectively killing Nokia Series-60 cellular phones via shortening the battery life due to scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices and propagating itself. This still relies on a user to open it, so hopefully that won't be many, and those that do must use a file manager to find and kill the worm. At least it isn't a dialer!"

    Taking psychotropic drugs and posting on /. that is a great idea!

    Hmmm...seems like my sarcasm plugin for IE isn't working properly.

    I'd really hope it was fresh. Because the UK laws are what they are, it's much more likely to be the former...

    You have to be stupid or entirely ignorant to be a successful person in this society crafted by charlatans and intellectual inferiors.

    Are you successful? Maybe it's not the system, but the drugs that keep you from reaching your goals.

    Good for you. There is nothing as beautiful as a psilocybin trip once in a while.

    Happy trails :)
