Skulls Trojan Update

The Symbian phone based Trojan "Skulls" just got a new, more insidious variant, "Skulls.B". The new Skulls includes the Cabir virus, giving it the ability to replicate itself to nearby handsets using Bluetooth. Insidious, yet somehow ingenious — I'm not sure how to feel. Maybe I should finally be thankful that my own phone doesn't support Bluetooth.
