Skull.B spreads via Bluetooth

The “Skull” Trojan is almost becoming as famous as the “I love you” outlook virus.

Skull.B is the latest variant of the virus. Unlike its predecessor Skull.A, the targeted cell phone does not display any pop-up message during the installation of the malicious file.

Skull.B is capable of disabling functions such as SMS, MMS, Web Browsing and built-in camera. The new virus uses “Cabir”, a worm that will use Bluetooth to copy itself wirelessly onto other devices.
