Experts have predicted that more viruses targeted at mobile phones and PDAs will emerge in 2005.
Antivirus firm Sophos has slammed a competitor's claims that it found the world's first 'serious' mobile phone virus.
The recent discovery of a large number of malicious mobile phone programs should raise concerns throughout the wireless industry, according to a virus tracker.
Most people with smart phones are aware of emerging security threats to the devices, but many of them still keep sensitive data on them, according to a new study.
Antivirus companies on Monday raced to decipher the workings of the first worm to target smart phones, while saying that the current incarnation of the program poses little threat.
A company which handles support for major mobile operators has hit back at research published at the end of April by antivirus giant Symantec that suggested users are wising up to a growing threat of mobile phone viruses.
As Symbian-based mobile phones increase, security experts warn this could trigger an explosion in malware for such devices.
A virus that infects Windows CE has been developed--the first such bug discovered for the handheld operating system, according to one firm.
A recently created 'concept virus' designed to show that a worm could spread between smart phones won't get very far in the real world, antivirus companies said Tuesday.
