SYMBIAN OS - MYSTERIOUS PLAYGROUND FOR NEW MALWARE

摘要

In the last year or two, an increasing number of Symbian threats have been reported. Some of these threats have exploited various services such as Bluetooth, MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), etc. On the other hand, there are still not many professional malware writers who are interested in the Symbian OS. However, this might change in the near future. Even worse, adware/spyware companies may also involve themselves with the Symbian OS. Imagine if people have a hidden dialer on their handset, a keylogger that traces PINs or other sensitive information. Is the Symbian OS in danger of further attacks?
