Symbian Virus That Spreads Over MMS

Mobile Tech has a piece on a new symbian virus that can spread over MMS.

As usual, the virus runs on Series 60 Symbian phones, tries to spread itself over Bluetooth, but the new twist is that it also uses MMS to send itself to numbers in the victim's address book.

Though rare, it does have the scare factor in that you can potentially run up massive bills without realising. Orange in the UK charge up to 50pence a message so an infection could become very expensive, very quickly.
