In an e-mail interview to Business Line, Mr Shantanu Ghosh, Vice-President, India Operations, Symantec, said the menace is set to grow in 2009, primarily because more people are turning towards smart phones that run on operating systems.
“These phones have large amount of money and real world applications similar to a desktop or laptop. As mobile usage continues to grow, so will mobile virus attacks,” he said.
Expanded functionsHe pointed out that during 2008 smart phones became the major computing platform. A study by Gartner Research showed that smart phones outshipped laptops in 2007 and analysts predict that one billion mobile devices will hit the market by end of 2011.
As these smart devices increasingly feature expanded bandwidth and functionality, they are being used more like a PC than a phone. Essentially, smart phones are now being used the same way as computers and are accessing the same information.
While the aim of attacks targeting mobile devices are similar to those targeting PCs – to obtain confidential information for financial gain – the propagation methods of smart phone attacks are specific to the mobile platform, said Mr Shantanu.
One type of attack involves use of SMS (text) messages. Since mobile users typically perceive text messages as being more personal than e-mail messages, they are more likely to trust them and act on them.
Other threats, such as snoopware, specifically leverage mobile device functionality, for example by using the phone’s camera to spy on the user, by disabling applications, or sending text messages from the phone without the user’s knowledge.
Symantec also observed viruses spread with Bluetooth transfers, game downloads, and updates to the phone’s system, ringtones, or alerts.
The latest and most sophisticated threats are known as “Pranking4Profit”, where the attack results in theft by accessing premium mobile SMS payments, he added.
Spam troubleMr Amit Nath, Country Manager, India and SAARC, Trend Micro, said globally, Mobile Secure Content Management was an estimated $221 million market in 2008. It is expected to grow to $313 million in 2009.
Spam does not spare mobile phones too. For instance, in March 2008, a massive spam attack hit nearly 200 million Chinese mobile phone users – approximately half of China’s total mobile population received unwanted text messages from seven online advertising firms.
Quoting an example, Mr Nath said in early 2008, a malware targeting Windows Mobile PocketPC was found. “Detected as WINCE_INFOJACK.A, this worm specifically runs on Windows CE environment, leaves the mobile phone open to other malware and installs unsigned applications without the user’s consent. It also steals information such as Mobile IMEI or serial number, OS version, model and platform and hosts name which it sends back to the malware author/s. Besides, the malware also changes the security settings of the affected phone,” he said. Mobile phones were infected when using an infected memory card or through SMS.
Mobile phones were infected when an infected memory card was used or through SMS.
According to him, 2009 would see more threats make money out of mobile technologies. As mobile phones and other handheld devices become more interconnected with their desktop counterparts, more threats to attempt to “cross over” multiple machines and devices via common application platforms (e.g., .NET, JAVA, etc.) are to be expected. Because the smart phones today run more like a regular PC, we need to treat them like regular PCs.
Seattle - The best thing about the iPhone is the wide variety of free and inexpensive add-on applications available for download via the Apple Appstore.
Applications allow the iPhone to have uses beyond the traditional phone calls, SMS messaging, calendar, and notepad applications you expect to have on a mobile phone. Applications can increase your productivity on the go, but the most important function in our opinion is to add a dose of fun to your day. Therefore the applications in our list of favorite iPhone applications all all fun and interesting.
The first in our list is Around Me. This free little app lets checks your gps on the iPhone and gives you a list of all sorts of places that are nearby. You can look under categories such as banks, bar and restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, taxis, etc. For people who travel, this can be invaluable.
Second in the list is an application that may not increase your productivity but its wow factor is so impressive everyone should have it. It’s called Shazam and I do not know how they do it, but you can hold your iPhone up to any music playing and it will “name that tune” and tell you the artist and title. Its simply amazing. We held it up to mysterious Christmas carols playing in a store dressing room and it found the title and artists within a few seconds. You can assuage your curiosity and amaze your friends!
Third and fourth are really silly little applications that just add a bit of fun to your day. The Zippo Lighter is just what you need at your next rock concert. It makes your iPhone look like a Zippo lighter, of course. Perfect for acting like the old days when instead of holding up your cell at a rock concert we used to hold our lighters up. More Cowbell turns your iPhone into a cowbell. Yes, it’s useless but it is a great send up to the classic Saturday Night Live skit and frankly, I’ve got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell.
The fifth application we love is Super Monkey Ball. At $9.99 it’s the only one on the list that is not free. However, Sega’s extremely popular game is the perfect use for the level feature on the iPhone. It allows you to roll the monkey (in a hamster ball) around with an intuitive feel. This game is addictive and might cause you to waste time but it’s quite fun.
There are a few things that can be
done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a
life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of
your mobile; network and there is an emergency,
dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing
network to establish the emergency number for you,
and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled
even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your
keys in the car and the spare keys are at home,
call someone at home on their mobile phone
from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from
your car door and have the person
at your home press the unlock button,
holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has
the other 'remote' for your car, you can
unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and
it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery..
This reserve will get charged when
you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a
STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your phone get stolen, you can phone
your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset
so even if the thief changes the SIM card,
your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back,
but at least you know that whoever stole it
can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be
no point in people stealing mobile phones.
Mobile phone viruses are the same as computer viruses. It can live with the cellular environment. Viruses can infect one susceptible phone to another. The only solution is to implement security measures inside the device such as data encryption and anti-virus software applications.
Modern technology advances and so are the viruses for smart phones and mobile phones with internet connectivity. Mobile viruses are like human viruses. It can spread by close contact to a specific host. It can also spread in the same way as computer viruses. Mobile viruses can be transferred through infected files or programs.
Some mobile device has Bluetooth. It is a product of modern technology that transfers data. This is done between different devices through photo sending from cell phone to printer and or address transferring from your Windows mobile phone to computers.
Mobile phones evolve. Their purpose was originally to make people talk to each other while moving. Now they are considered as multi-media devices. It can replace items in the future like:
Cell phones that are merely enabled for talking and SMS are not at risk with viruses. Those that are enabled to handle data or have Bluetooth are susceptible to viruses. Bluetooth technology has few risks so it needs to be manipulated properly. Once virus is installed or received, it will start to look for other Bluetooth devices to infect. Within a 30 feet radius, an enabled Bluetooth mobile device can be infected by another.
How do viruses multiply?
Infected MMS messages will be sent by a virus. It will then proliferate to every listed numbers in your phone memory.
What harm virus can do to your phone?
The virus can delete or alter all the contact details and calendar entries in your mobile phone.
It can crash, delete or lock up your phone applications.
The virus will appear as pornographic item, free download, or mobile games.
The virus will appear as text messages disguised as friend messages subject line.
Knowingly or unknowingly, the user installs the virus through transferring. Sometimes the virus disguise as a desirable application. It installs the bug without your knowing. It can cause trouble and cash losses, too.
How to avoid mobile viruses?
- Do not enable Bluetooth when not needed.
- Accept only file that you know when your Bluetooth is on.
- Say No for unknown file.
- Download materials that are not scanned from sharing network must be avoided.
- Delete the infected application program.
- Avoid installing unknown applications.
- Download only from official websites.
Ways to avoid mobile viruses:
1.Network Security
There are mobile versions of anti-virus products that can be used. These are from industry leaders. It includes:
2.Blocking Thieves
An important defense to block thieves of data is to enable the password lock. It can be found in the native system setting of PDA.
3.Privacy and Data Protection
To keep your files confidential, password managers and data encryption can help you.
Encryption applications are:
A password for lockbox program will be required each time information is to be accessed. It includes bank account, car details, credit cards, and the like.
Well-known viruses are:
Viruses and Malware will remain as long as 3G phones are here. Improvement of the productivity levels of mobile devices will expose them more to virus infections. The solution is to implement security measures inside the device such as data encryption and anti-virus software applications.

LG’s latest 13 mm x 13 mm modem chip can theoretically support wireless download speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 50 Mbps. T
“The modem chip is the most crucial component required to create a viable 4G handset with LTE technology, the leading candidate to become the fourth generation mobile phone technology standard,” said LG in a statement.
LG showed the the chip at its research lab in Korea with real world wireless download speeds of 60 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps. The fastest phones currently on the market use HSDPA technology and download at a maximum speed of 7.6 Mbps, said LG.
That means with LTE technology, users can download a 700 MB movie file in less than one minute at the theoretical speed of 100 Mbps. LTE technology would also allow consumers to simultaneously stream four HD movies without any buffering, said the company.
Expect the first LTE mobile phones to hit the market in 2010.

A few weeks ago Gideon Multimedia launched a travel guide for mobile phones, called mobiEXPLORE UK. The idea is that it marries the portability of a guide book, but the always-on and always updated aspects of the web. With mobiEXPLORE UK on your phone you can have access to the most current information wherever you are and whenever you need it.
It’s easy to for users to download:
Go to http://uk.mobiexplore.com/ on your computer and follow the three steps on the screen
Or go to www.mobiexplore.net on you mobile phone and click on the link – this will give you the option to download the application there and then without the need for a PC
There is also the option to download the application via an SMS request
And it’s proving to be very popular – in the first 3 weeks since launch, it had been downloaded over 70,000 times.
I asked the European MD of Gideon Multimedia, Vedran Prazen, a few questions about the service:
What cities does it cover?
MobiEXPLRE UK covers over 100 locations across the UK, including London, Manchester and Edinburgh, offering insight into points of interest, local history and facts about the area. For the most popular locations (for example, London and Manchester) you will find more in-depth information including an easy to navigate street map, tube map (for London), information on places of interest such as museums, nature, shopping and spas along with restaurant and accommodations listings.
Is it as detailed as a ‘Rough Guide’ for example?
MobiEXPLORE UK is a mobile application and as such the content has been tailored for mobile use – it would be a bad move to try and squeeze the content of a book onto your mobile phone! But because the application fuses offline and online content users can access restaurants listings offline – and still have the option of receiving up to the minute weather forecasts, news and special offers by going online – something a guidebook is unable to do.
Could my mum use it?
Sure – we designed the application with this audience in mind … if the typical, non-techy Mum can download and use the application with ease then we know we’ve done a good job.
What do you think is the future of mobile applications?
If we are talking features, then essentially the only limit is one’s imagination.
In terms of business models I think the future of mobile applications mirrors that adopted by mobiEXPLORE. Free to the end user but supported by targeted, non intrusive adds and additional services. The key to a successful application is making it useful and relevant – what does it offer and why should people want it? These are the boxes that need to be ticked and this is where I believe the future of mobile applications lies.
Have you got anything else in the pipeline?
Absolutely – the next step for us the ten other mobiEXPLORE projects in Europe along with several other mobile services that are in the very early stages of development…so we are certainly keeping busy!
