Mobile phone virus targets PCs too

September 27th, 2005 | by amarfresh |

I resisted posting about this because I many mobile virus stories are used to hype anti-virus software companies who are making a big deal about nothing. Nonetheless, I found it interesting enough that the Cardtrap.A Trojan essentially uses mobile phones as a transport to ultimately infect a PC.

A typical reaction of many users who discover the infection of Cardtrap.A would be to insert the phone memory card into the PC to copy the file manager or disinfection tool to the card. But this is precisely what would create the PC infection.
