New Symbian trojan Hobbes.A detected

Hobbes.A is a SIS file trojan that looks like the Symantec Anti-Virus for
Symbian phones. When the trojan is installed, it shows a dialog instructing
the user to reboot the phone in order to activate the Symantec Anti-Virus
software. The trojan does not contain any antivirus software but a component
that disables the phone's application menu.

The trojan has been tested in different phones and it seems to affect only
older Symbian Series 60 phones such as NGage and 3650.

Any user who installs the trojan should not reboot the phone. Instead they
should uninstall the file with Application Manager.

Josmaarten Swinkels declares: “People once more, seeing files from uncertain sources on their phones, must elaborate their intelligence immediately. A shot of skepticism on what I see on my phone and from where it comes is necessarily. Threats for cell-phone users are increasing daily and their victims will be most of the times the idle and the not informed.”
