Symbian mobile worm spreading fast
24/01/2008 by swordfish.
Security researchers are warning of a new piece of malware targeting smartphones equipped with the SymbianOS.
SymbOS/Beselo is currently spreading through the wild in Asia, deceiving victims by posing as an image file.
The attack is launched via an MMS message in which the user is sent a file called either ‘beauty.jpg,’ ‘love.rm’ or ’sex.mp3′.
On being launched, the worm copies itself into the user’s memory card and sets itself to load on startup. The malware then attempts to send itself to every contact on the user’s phone. It also generates random numbers to send itself to and attempts to spread to any nearby device via Bluetooth.
