Comprehensive awareness of mobile phone viruses

Today, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, and they are no longer simple communication tools. With the increasing maturity of WAP mobile technology, the "Personal Network Communication" era has come. Access to the Internet to easily obtain a large amount of information has become an inevitable trend in the future development of mobile phones. Because mobile phones are basically connected to the Internet, pervasive viruses have begun to concern people about the security of their mobile phones. Moreover, with the advent of the I-mode mobile phones equipped with Java functions, mobile phones can access the Internet better, it is bound to increase the chance of virus infection on the mobile phone. Once the virus lurking in the mobile phone powers, the damage is also very high, at least it will bring you a lot of unhappiness. It is precisely because the direct attack on WAP mobile phones through the network is easier than that on GSM mobile phones, and WAP mobile phones have become another important target of computer hacker attacks.

In fact, mobile phone viruses are the same as computer viruses, which can be executed on a computer to send messages to a mobile phone. Such viruses can only be transmitted on the computer network, but not through mobile phones, with little destructive power. Of course, some mobile phone viruses are still quite destructive. Once an attack may be worse than a PC virus, the virus may spread faster than the "I love you" virus. Viruses that attack Online mobile phones automatically enable the phone recording function and send the recordings everywhere, the virus also automatically calls the phone, deletes the file content on the mobile phone, and generates a huge phone bill. Because some mobile phone viruses spread from automatic phone calls, and the mobile phone network is too closely linked, it has a wider impact than computer viruses. In the future, as mobile phone design becomes more complicated and its functions become more diversified, the disaster caused by viruses will also be wider.

In June 6 Spain first found a worm virus VBS-TIMOFONICA, which can be executed by a computer and send messages to the phone. Strictly speaking, it should be a computer virus (which can damage the computer's CMOS). It can spread on computer networks rather than through mobile phones, so the so-called VBS-TIMOFONICA mobile phone virus is computer virus program started a service of telecommunications companies-e-mail to mobile phone Short Message function, and it sent to the mobile phone is a document, no destructive power at all.
