500 virulent viruses are looking for ways to 'destroy' mobile phones

According to an article on the San Jose Mercury site, mobile phones are the target of 500 malware attacks. The mobile market is facing many dangers that the computer industry has experienced.

While smart phones are also known as smartphones with powerful features that can replace computers, cyber criminals are starting to pay attention to these handsets. The opportunity for dangerous software to attack the phone is increasing because smartphones are also at high risk of sticking holes like computers.

The most common virus is Commwarrior-A - the malware discovered since 2005 that attacks personal computers. The virus has begun to spread to Symbian OS phones with malicious messages.

Security experts fear that the next time hackers will use the GPS positioning function already in many phones to track the address of the owner. From malicious malware, hackers will force phones to automatically exchange messages with fake mobile operators to force users to pay for messaging at exorbitant prices.

According to San Jose Mercury, there is a new generation of spyware called 'snoopware'. They try to turn on the phone's microphone or camera to overhear conversations and images around to perform bad action.
