Cell Phone AntiVirus?
Didn't see an appropriate forum for this post, so I placed it here.
As our smart phones are running mini-os systems and have email access, Did you ever consider that a virus might be attached to an email?After some time with Google, here's what I found (as of 1/30/2009): excerpt: This is why F-Secure – a Finnish company and the first to offer anti-virus protection technology for cellular phones – has decided to commission the first Italian on the road experiment aimed at verifying the potential weaknesses of Bluetooth devices and creating a mini-guide for a better understanding of Bluetooth technology, containing also indications on minimum precautions for safe use. Knowing the vulnerabilities of Bluetooth enabled devices is just as important as understanding the technology potential: on our part, with this work, we intend to take the first important step in this direction.
