The Symbian Foundation recently admitted that a trojan virus has successfully passed the Security Monitoring of the Symbian system, and Symbian's digital signature review function for malware needs to be improved.

 

Craig Heath, chief technology officer of Symbian, pointed out last week that a trojan named "Sexy space" has passed the Symbian security reviewProgramAfter obtaining a digital signature, the related technical personnel are currently improving the system's security audit procedures.

 

Heath said in an interview: "We have always reviewed each submitted software and issued a digital signature after ensuring that they have no problems, we are currently improving the review process."

 

The secret's "Sexy space" Trojan is not manually inspected.

 

Heth indicates that Symbian discovered the existence of the "Sexy space" Trojan Two Weeks Ago and revoked its digital signature, however, a failure on the Symbian server allows users to download the software from the server. Symbian said that the automatic virus scanning process in the digital signature review program will be improved, and the Manual spot check method will be improved.
