Cell phone antivirus software company SimWorks reported Wednesday that 52 new Trojan horses are hidden inside several different cell phones games and other readily available mobile phone software. While the software appears to be safe to share or use, the Trojans actually contain malicious software that crashes many critical cell phone system components. The Trojan horses target only cell phones that use Symbian, an advanced, or “smart phone,” operating system that competes with similar software from Microsoft to bring PC-like capabilities to phones.
