Security experts have discovered what is believed to be the world's first computer "worm" aimed at mobile phones.
The worm does not appear to pose an immediate threat to cellphone users, but it suggests that mobile phones are much more vulnerable to virus-writers and hackers than previously thought.
Vincent Gullato, vice-president at security group Network Associates, said the discovery suggested that "we've now entered into an era in which we could very well see more cellphone threats in the future". |
