Finally, the real action against the mobile phone virus maker has been taken! Spanish police have arrested a 28-year-old man suspecting that his virus has affected more than 115,000 Symbian OS-based smartphones thus causing millions of euros in damages to both mobile phone owners and mobile service providers.
I’ll only add that the virus CERTAINLY hasn’t affected the latest Nokia and Sony Ericsson devices that run Symbian OS version 9.1 or higher (S60 3.0+ and UIQ 3.0+). The new security layer built inside the Symbian OS v9+ simply doesn’t allow such things to happen… 🙂
