Anti-virus vendors have spotted a new strain of the "Skulls" Trojan
sneaking into Symbian-based cell phones, and this one drops the Cabir
worm on the devices.

The latest mutant, Skulls.B, is similar to the Trojan discovered last
week in the Nokia 7610 smart phone, which is powered by the Symbian
operating system.

However, while the original "Skulls" Trojan simply disabled the
smart-phone functionality on the handset, the new version also
infects the device with Cabir, a worm that uses the Bluetooth
protocol to copy itself onto devices as far as 30 feet away.

...

When the original Trojan appeared, U.K.-based Symbian Ltd. said it
was investigating the malware, which targets the Nokia 7610 but may
affect some other phones using the Series 60 user interface.
