Malware Behavior and Technical Description

Cabir is the first network worm capable of spreading via Bluetooth; it infects mobile phones which run Symbian OS.

A wide range of phones from a number of manufacturers use this technology. It is clear that Nokia 3650, 7650 and N-Gage phones can all be infected by Cabir. However, any handset running Symbian OS is potentially vulnerable to infection.

The list below shows handsets running this operating system. The list is taken from the Symbian site.
