Symantec Security Response - EPOC.Cabir
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:37 am EDT, Jun 15, 2004

] The worm spreads as a .SIS file, which is automatically
] installed into the "APPS" directory when the receiver
] accepts the transmission. Upon execution, it will display
] a message then copy itself to a directory that is not
] visible by default. The worm runs from this directory
] whenever the phone is rebooted, so it continues to work
] even if the files are deleted from the APPS directory.
]
] Once the worm is running, it will constantly search for
] Bluetooth-enabled devices, and send itself to the first
] device that it finds. There is no payload, apart from the
] vastly shortened battery life caused by the constant
] scanning for Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Excellent! Yeah yeah, Viruses suck, but I do admire the skill it takes to create one (especially on a totally new platform).
