We all know that technology has advanced a lot. Emanation of this is that apart from various illnesses, we reached in the point, where... "mosquitos" can transfer even... trojans.
The holders therefore of Nokia's mobile with functional Series 60, they have a new headache after the virus Cabir, which became known that it circulates inside the broken edition of the known game Mosquito, which is presented called Mosquito v2.0 and contains a hidden Trojan Horse in! Thus, the moment when the user plays the game, the trojan is copied in file system apps Mosquitos Mosquitos.app and it begins to send SMS, without the holder of the mobile to have any idea whats happening. Something similar with the operation of dialers that are copied in the computer of the victim and makes calls in numbers abroad with extreme high debits. Already, they have been reported cases of victims that have lost enough money because of trojan.
"The Symbian constitutes the main objective of hackers, cause it is the widest spreadest functional system in Europe. It appears that hackers they write similar code with the ones of viruses for computers, and Symbian is openly in this type of attack ", Rachel Lashford declared, analyst of Canalys, while supplementing that the manufacturers of mobile telephony should advice their users with regarding the "mobile polution" and further the spread trojan. For Symbian, via her representative, it declared that it had knowledge for the particular make, but it wants to make sure first which edition of the game is "broken", before any further statements. The only sure thing is that since this edition is a pirate one, it doesnt circulate in the market.
For our part, the only thing we can make, it is that we draw attention of all of you who own a Series 60 mobile and have download the particular game, but also more generally in those who are using pirate games from the Internet, since this phenomena is expected to be always more frequent in the future!
