Cellphone Viruses Could become a threat
A reassuring article on cell phone viruses by The Wall Street Journal today, stating that the "virus threat to cellphones is, for now, purely academic". "We've had no reports of people actually seeing these viruses in their daily use," said Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant with London's Sophos PLC. "The only reports we've seen documented are antivirus researchers sending them to each other in their labs." "Worried chatters should know that security experts this year found only five viruses that target mobile phones, and all of them were created and contained within labs, Mr. Cluley said. Despite names like "Cabir" and "Skulls," the cell phone viruses created in the labs aren't as lethal as viruses that have attacked PCs. Playing it safe, "Japanese phone company NTT DoCoMo Inc. already sells phones with built-in antivirus software from McAfee Inc., and McAfee expects similar phones to be available in the U.S. and Europe in 2005." |
