New SMS Mobile Worm for Symbian?
Symbian users watch out! It seems that a new SMS mobile work is out there and it affects Symbian phones. The new worm is called SymbOS/Yxes, or we can just call it Sexy View, and it affects Symbian S60 3rd Edition phones but it’s not guaranteed that others phones won’t be affected.
The worm acts like an application. It has a valid certificate signed by Symbian and installs itself as a valid application. Then it gathers phone numbers and it tries to send SMS messages to those. Inside the message there’s a web address which holds the Trojan inside. Click on it and you’ll have your Sexy View installed in no time. But wait, there’s more. The Trojan attempts to gather info. The serial number of the phone and the subscription number will be sent via Internet to a remote server.
