First Trojan for Windows CE Released
Tuxedo Jack writes "Symantec and The Register are reporting that the first Windows CE trojan horse, known as Brador, has been mailed to Trend Micro. This cannot spread on its own; it must be mailed or transmitted, then opened. Once opened, it opens a TCP port, allowing the remote-controller to connect and establish control over it. As expected, this will most likely be used to make new botnets, and it leads me to wonder: will we soon need firewalls for Windows Embedded?"
First Trojan for WinCE? Good! Now I won't have all of these little Pocket PCs running around!
If you have ANY device connected to a network, it should be protected (firewalled) from evil-doers.

Wouldn't it just be easier to send them the Amish Virus instead?
Hey maybe this program is really useful? I mean does microsoft have a remote control program for windows CE? Think of it like terminal service but FREE! This program is good. Install it!
Hmm... how about giving the user a brief intelligence test each time the handheld is going to retrieve e-mail?
If the score isn't over a certain threshhold, any executable files received in new e-mail messages are automatically deleted, and the following text is appended to the messages:
----------
An executable file attachment was removed from this message. It was not necessarily a worm/virus/trojan, but your IQ test results show you are too fucking stupid to tell the difference and would happily double-click on a land mine if someone sent you one.
----------
If you think you are a disease, I'd say there's certainly something wrong.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
unless the virus disables the hard reset using the foward deflector array and
never mind.
Trojan: "Dude! I owned an iPAQ! Emailed to the user, he opened me up and BAM! I had root access to this...uh...little....uh...bitty....room. ....ahemm..."
It has the trojan because it is the M$. If it was not the M$ it would not have the trojan. Why you ask? Because the M$ is bad. No matter what they do is bad. Some even say Bill Gates deserves "death" because of the M$. They must all be right because the M$ is bad. Bad bad bad M$.
