Germany: Buy Samsung Wave to be 'promoted' malicious code

Some security companies have warned users that a file called S8500 on microSD memory cards with Samsung Wave phones is actually a Trojan.

This information was later confirmed by the Samsung manufacturer and said only a small amount of distribution equipment on the German market was infected with this malicious code. Accordingly, as soon as the user connects this phone to the computer to synchronize the data, the malicious code will automatically activate and download another malicious software.

' We found that this file is actually a Trojan.Generic.3932466, ' said Sean Sullivan, a security adviser at security software company Finland F-Secure.

This is not the first time users of Samsung products have been " promoted " to add embedded code in the device. Two years ago, the company's series of digital photo frames also met the same situation.

The status of products infected with malicious code immediately after delivery also tends to increase in recent times with many other manufacturers. Normally, before shipping products are set up to receive software from a central server, so a certain malicious code will lead to mass infection.

' The lesson for this case is actually very simple: Be careful and scan all devices as soon as it is connected to the computer even though it is a newly released device from a reputable manufacturer. "Graham Cluley, senior consultant with British security firm Sophos, writes.

Wave is the latest smartphone series recently launched by Korean electronics company Samsung. This is the fastest mobile model with 1 GHz processor in the world today, equipped with SuperAMOLED screen, Samsung's Bada-designed operating system, the ability to play videos in high resolution (720p) and support Signal to wide-screen TV.

It is reported that Samsung Wave has a selling price in Vietnam of about VND9.9 million.
