A worm that can move from a Symbian phone to a PC has been reported by security experts F-Secure. The Mobler worm doesn’t have an automatic cross-platform spreading mechanism, but could be loaded by unwary users. It attempts to copy itself to all available media including USB drives and memory cards. On a Symbian device, it creates a Windows-executable installation package on the memory card. This can be seen by Windows Explorer when the device is connected to a PC.
