It was just a matter of time before security became an issue on mobiles.
Latest incident:
Platform: S60 3rd Edition FP (Feature Pack) 1
Handset: Typically - Nokia (check here) and some LGs (KT610, etc)
Advice: Don't click on something you DON'T understand (or don't even want to).
Why?
It will destroy your contact / address book after trying to pass itself on to everyone in it via an SMS. It's fairly aggressive - it will exec on every phone reboot.
There is an SMS cleaner that Nokia provides, although its not clear, if it has been updated to address this particular incident.
Thankfully, my N71 is safe (but its successor, the N76 is not)! But, that's probably due to its age ... dunno if that's a good thing ... sigh!
