Story: Skulls Trojan teams up with Cabir worm

• 
• 

Symbian virus writers have now decided to have another go at this. SimWorks has identified a new variant of the Camtimer/Cabir combo originally included in Skulls b, this time seperate from the Skulls trojan.

The Cabir worm found in Skulls.b was packaged with an application called Camtimer, a piece of free Nokia software. The Camtimer/Cabir.b worm combo (Camtimer.a) packaged with Skulls.b was not pack correctly and the Cabir virus would not auto-start.

This new variant, Camtimer.b has been packaged correctly and so in this version Cabir will auto-start.

The installation file for Camtimer.b is called CAMTIMER.sis and Series 60 phone users should exercise caution if downloading this from untrusted sites and consider purchasing anti-virus software for their phones from reputable sites such as Handango.

Best regards,
Aaron Davidson.
