Beware – Trojan found for Windows Mobile

Posted on 18 December 2009 by


Trojan WM

For all of you Windows Mobile users out there, be warned: Kaspersky, a company that offers a number of award-winning computer security solutions, has recently released information on a new Windows Mobile trojan:

The Trojan-SMS.WinCE.Sejweek.a trojan is commonly found associated with pirated software, downloads an XML file from a website which contains the numbers of premium rate SMS numbers and the frequency at which the expensive ($1 per message) SMS messages will be sent. Due to the variety of SMS numbers being sent to it is less easy to block the money making part of the scheme, making the trojan’s utility that much longer lived

You will only get this trojan by installing untrusted software, which would commonly be found on forums and warez sites. What does that mean to us? It simply means to support our developers, and install software only from trusted sources. :-)
