CABIR:
WORLD'S FIRST VIRUS FOR MOBILE PHONES
Cabir is the first worm which propagates via Bluetooth across smartphones running on Symbian OS Series 60 platform. The virus, scans the environment for other Bluetooth-enabled devices, once it has found one, it sends itself masked as a security file. If the owner of the target device accepts the file, the worm has propagated successfully!
This mobile virus is not dangerous, but it shortens the battery life of the infected mobile phones because it keeps scanning for Bluetooth-enabled devices.
