: Lasco worm written by a Brazilian becomes the first to target the Symbian Installation System (SIS) files. The worm is based on the same code as Cabir, the first mobile phone virus. Infected phones spread the worm via Bluetooth and transmit the code to the first Symbian Series 60 device available in its broadcast radius. More here, here and here. More information regarding this new threat as well as removal procedures can be found at the Symantec and F-Secure website.

: Brief history of Mobile Malware - Interesting article on the history of Trojans and viruses that have infected handhelds and smart phones over the last 6 months. A few snippets:
December 2004
- New variants of the Cabir virus (one of the first mobile viruses), Cabir.H and Cabir.I, fixed a flaw that slowed the previous Cabir malware from spreading rapidly. The original Cabir, dubbed Cabir.A, moved only to one new phone with each reboot. But the newer versions did not have the same restrictions, and appeared capable of spreading to an unlimited number of phones per reboot.
(For more, see New Cabir Variants are Spreading Fast)- METAL Gear.a encouraged smartphone users to install itself by masquerading as the Symbian version of the popular Metal Gear Solid game. The trojan was the first malware to target Symbian security software to disable specific anti-virus and file browsing applications.

- Skulls, a relatively low-impact but threatening virus, popped up on some Symbian OS smartphones. The malware, which overwrote application information and icon files (AIF) on the device's C: drive with an icon of a skull-and-bones image, was found at some Symbian shareware download sites under the filename "Extended Theme Manager" and "Tee-222" with a Symbian OS Installer file (.sis).

August 2004
- The first Trojan aimed at Symbian smartphones turned up embedded in a cracked (illegal) edition of Ojom’s game Mosquito. So the only way to become infected with Mosquito was to to knowingly or unwittingly download illegal software.
Mosquito became activated when you launched the pirated game. Upon which, it copied itself to the system/apps/Mosquitos/ folder on the smartphone and then sent SMS messages out in the background at premium rates while the game was being played.
