Caught a Worm

As I was arriving at the Salzburg Airport coming back from the trip to Singapore, a message popped up on my Series60 phone while I was waiting for my luggage. I was disappointed to just receive a funny-named .sis (Symbian application) file instead of getting 'toothed'.

Of course I didn't install the received file but saved it to my phone's filesystem. Using the very cool and handy FExplorer tool (Thanks to Dominique Hugo (and his patient girl-friend ;) )) I found out that some infected phone at the very small Salzburg Airport tried to spread the CommWarrior Worm over to my phone via Bluetooth.

This was the first time that my device was subject of a Bluetooth Worm 'attack'. It is too bad that there is still a fairly big amount of people out there that are not aware of this kind of threat and infect their phones by repeatedly hitting the 'Yes'-Button (as tought by Microsoft).
