MMS Virus Discovered On Symbian Phones
A mobile phone virus that spreads through Mobile Messaging Services (MMS) has been discovered on Symbian Series 60 mobile phones.
The virus is being called CommWarrior.A, and it puts copies of itself on vulnerable mobile phones and sends them to contacts from the address book through MMS.
