The people at the Mobile Antivirus Researchers Association (MARA) are reporting that they have discovered the first PC to Handheld crossover malware. The malware is understood to cross infect a handheld phone or PDA from a binary on the desktop PC.
The malware, is a proof of concept trojan they have dubbed as crossover it spreads from a Win32 desktop machine to a Windows Mobile Pocket PC device. It seems that the Trojan was written in C# (C Sharp) using Visual Studio .NET 2003 using the Communications Library of openNETCF.org. And was designed to run on any handheld device running Windows CE or Windows Mobile and .NET CF 1.1.
From the information released by the MARA it seems that the trojan may also erase files on the handheld before installing itself onto the device so it will execute when the device is restarted.
You can seem more on this here at the MARA website. |
