Time for a change
by Tex Murphy PI August 12, 2004 11:46 PM PDT
My God! A phone virus that hit the Symbian OS! This must mean that it's an insecure OS!

This is definite proof that we should change all Cell-Phone operating systems to the more secure Linux or Mac OSX!

I just thought I would beat everyone to the punchline for a change.

Or for a more morbid twist:

Omg the Simbian OS is insecure.. we MUST immediately change all cell phones to use Windows.

*shudder*

You: "Call Bob"

Phone: "Fatal exception 0E in kernel32.dll"
Phone: "Rebooting"
Phone: "Error while rebooting."
Phone: "Rebooting"
Phone: "Error while rebooting."
Phone: "Rebooting..."

You: "Thats what I thought you would say."

Just a copy-protection of original game.
Who pirates the game, must pay for SMS.

So another hollow threat!!..

The "trojan" is actually in the program- it is designed to let the programer know when the program has been hacked. It send a text message to the programmer and is not a virus. The story on this came out 2 days a go.
Hello does any body else read the internet news or just your own.PS this story about the "trojan is also a least a week old
