CELL PHONE VIRUS AND SECURITY
#1

ABSTRACT
As cell phones become a part and parcel of our life so do the threats
imposed to them is also on the increase. Like the internet, today even the
cell phones are going online with the technologies like the edge, GPRS
etc. This online network of cellphones has exposed them to the high risks
caused by malwares viruses, worms and Trojans designed for mobile
phone environment. The security threat caused by these malwares are so
severe that a time would soon come that the hackers could infect mobile
phones with malicious software that will delete any personal data or can
run up a victim s phone bill by making toll calls.
All these can lead to overload in mobile networks, which can eventually
lead them to crash and then the financial data stealing which poises risk
factors for smart phones. As the mobile technology is comparatively new
and still on the developing stages compared to that of internet technology,
the anti virus companies along with the vendors of phones and mobile
operating systems have intensified the research and development
activities on this growing threat, with a more serious perspective.
1. INTRODUCTION
Rapid advances in low-power computing, communications, and storage technologies
continue to broaden the horizons of mobile devices, such as cell phones and personal
digital assistants (PDAs). As the use of these devices extends into applications that
srequire them to capture, store, access, or communicate sensitive data, (e.g., mobile ecommerce,
financial transactions, acquisition and playback of copyrighted content,
etc.) security becomes an immediate concern. Left unaddressed, security concerns
threaten to impede the deployment of new applications and value-added services,
which is an important engine of growth for the wireless, mobile appliance and
semiconductor industries. According to a survey of mobile appliance users, 52% cited
security concerns as the biggest impediment to their adoption of mobile commerce.
A cell-phone virus is basically the same thing as a computer virus -- an unwanted
executable file that "infects" a device and then copies itself to other devices. But
whereas a computer virus or worm spreads through e-mail attachments and Internet
downloads, a cell-phone virus or worm spreads via Internet downloads, MMS
(multimedia messaging service) attachments and Bluetooth transfers. The most
common type of cell-phone infection right now occurs when a cell phone downloads
an infected file from a PC or the Internet, but phone-to-phone viruses are on the rise.
Current phone-to-phone viruses almost exclusively infect phones running the
Symbian operating system. The large number of proprietary operating systems in the
cell-phone world is one of the obstacles to mass infection. Cell-phone-virus writers
have no Windows-level marketshare to target, so any virus will only affect a small
percentage of phones.
Infected files usually show up disguised as applications like games, security patches,
add-on functionalities and free stuff. Infected text messages sometimes steal the
subject line from a message you've received from a friend, which of course increases
the likelihood of your opening it -- but opening the message isn't enough to get
infected.
