Bluetooth mobile phone virus discovered

A hybrid mobile phone virus that is being dubbed as the most sophisticated "mobile malware yet" has been discovered by experts. As the New Scientist http://www.newscientist.com reports, Lasco.A spreads via Bluetooth and can infect smartphones running the Symbian operating system. The virus arrives as an executable file called "velasco.sis" and, once installed, automatically tries to send itself to other phones within Bluetooth range. However, the risk of infection remains extremely slim, experts say.
