First MMS mobile phone virus
Phone viruses so far have been spreading over Bluetooth - so they only affected phones that were nearby. A MMS virus can potentially go global in minutes, just like email worms do.
First analysis shows that it attempts to spread over both MMS and Bluetooth. The virus seems to be from Russian, as it contains text that says "OTMOP03KAM HET!". Which roughly translates to "No to braindeads".
We'll definitely see more and more problematic mobile phone viruses. How long before we will get a real problem with this kind of viruses remains an open question.
