Are any of you having trouble with your cell phones this afternoon?
Yeah, my cell battery is dead.
Not yet, but I've had various net problems.
I've lost yahoo messenger a couple of times and confirmed it wasn't just me.
This in itself isn't a big deal, but a web attack on a major supplier caused similar outages earlier in the week.
That is why I was asking if anyone had info of a web attack ocurring today.
My cell phone works fine today.
There is a new worm that attacks cell phones with the Symbian operating system inside. This includes some Nokia, Siemens and Ericsson. See article.
The worm arrives in a text message displaying "Caribe". If you accept that message, the worm installs itself and begins searching for Bluetooth connected devices. This worm will likely be limited to people with smart phone/PDA devices that include Bluetooth connectivity.
No, but where I work I do tech support. Our product uses a phone line and modem. It is rare that they fail but I have been having a VERY large number of failures today. I normally have maybe one a month, but I have had at least 4 today. My supervisors have commented that they have had a lot of others with the same problem. Don't know if that means anything, who knows?
There is a cell phone virus. Will post later.
Used mine several times in the past few hours and it's been fine...Verizon if that matters. What's the problem been? Anything in particular? I can 'test' and see if I can find the problem trying a certain thing if so...
