Smartphone Thoughts posted about a new virus called WinCE/InfoJack that can run wild on Windows Mobile phones.
McAfee issued asecurity alert regarding the virus, which is mostly tame itself but leaves users wide open for abuse in the future. The virus changes the user’s browser home page and sends device information like operating system and model number back to the creators. Worse, it turns off all installation protection, allowing it to update itself and allowing other malware to be installed silently.
The website from which it spawned has been shut down, but the virus was added to legitimate downloads like Google Maps and game packs and might still be floating around. Be careful!
