CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Virus, What is it ? A computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer. It may be benign or have a negative effect, such as causing a program to operate incorrectly or corrupting a computer's memory.

MOBILE VIRUS :-

The viruses for WAP-enabled mobile devices are the mobile virus.
CELL PHONE VIRUS :Viruses that can attack WAP-enabled Cell phones

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

WAP SECUIRITY PROBLEM:-

WAP gateway security Operating system Use of SMS

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

WAP INFRASTRUCTURE

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Motive to create virus :Viruses are written for a variety of reasons curiosity Challenge to gain wider attention some antivirus companies want to enter new market

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Virus Actions:-

Send SMS text messages to all the numbers found within cell phone
damage by deleting or modifying the phone book starting to make phone calls to pay-perminute numbers

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

CURRENT THREAT:CABIR Symb/Cabir-A is a virus written specifically for N-Gage, 3650, or other Nokia Series 60 mobile phones running in the Symbian operating system. The virus spreads as a .sis package, named as Caribe.sis

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Cabir requires:approving connection from unknown device

approving receiving a file from unknown device approving receiving a application from unknown device

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Reason to create cabir:-

There are two reasons behind Cabir creators :

some antivirus companies want to enter new market. May be Microsoft wants to show how insecure Symbian OS is compared to their MS Smart phone

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

Working function of cabir:When launched, the worm displays a message on the screen: either 'Caribe' or 'Caribe - VZ/29a' . worm itself is an SIS format file, called caribe.sis, of 15092 or 15104 bytes in size . This file contains three objects: caribe.app: 11932 / 11944 bytes in size flo.mdl: 2544 bytes in size caribe.rsc: 44 bytes in size

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

The worm installs the three file to the following directories

:\system\apps\caribe\caribe.app :\system\apps\caribe\flo.mdl :\system\apps\caribe\caribe.rsc

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

GET RID OF THIS VIRUS:The directory SYMBIANSECUREDATA which the worm creates is hidden and cannot be seen by the user of the infected telephone. Fexplorer isused to delete those hidden files.
C:\SYSTEM\SYMBIANSECUREDATA\CARIBE SECURITYMANAGER\ CARIBE.SIS C:\SYSTEM\SYMBIANSECUREDATA\CARIBE SECURITYMANAGER\ CARIBE.APP C:\SYSTEM\SYMBIANSECUREDATA\CARIBE SECURITYMANAGER\ CARIBE.RSC C:\SYSTEM\RECOGS\FLO.MDL

CELLULAR VIRUS ATTACK

CONCLUSION:-

. There are so many antivirus applications for Series 60 are already available in market. We should not accept files from unknown people without confirmation .
