Latest proof-of-concept virus affects Pocket PC.
Back in August 2001, Virus Bulletin carried an article which warned ”
be prepared for the first Windows CE worms for Pocket PCs
“.
Nearly three years later the first virus to affect Pocket PCs has appeared: WCE/Duts.
Duts is a proof-of-concept virus written by the 29a virus-writing group, whose other recent creations include
SymbOS/Cabir
, the first virus to spread from mobile phone to mobile phone (a full analysis of Cabir can be found in the
August 2004 issue
of Virus Bulletin).
A fully-detailed analysis of Duts will be included in the September issue of Virus Bulletin.
