F-Secure says it’s found two bad news Cabir variants affecting Symbian Series 60 phones.

Posting on the company’s blog, Jarno says:


“First of all, these new variants seem to be recompiled versions based on original Cabir source code. Which means that the Cabir source code is floating around in the underground. Which is bad news. We didn’t know the sources were out there, and we’ve never seen them.


“Second important difference is that these new Cabir variants fix a flaw that was slowing down original Cabir’s spreading speed. Cabir originally would only spread to one new phone per reboot. Which explains why it so far has only managed to spread to eight countries (as far as we know), despite being in the wild for months already.”
