 F-Secure reports the detection of spyware running on 2 signed applications. They
note... "After being installed on the device, they hide from the user and report
information from the phone to a central server."
So is spyware shipping on what you perceive to be "secure", signed applications?
F-Secure continued in the recent note with the following... "An interesting fact
is that the spyware for the Symbian 3rd Edition platform is Symbian signed. Therefore
it can be installed without any warnings and is capable of operating without Symbian
security alerting the user that something is going on."
See details of this at F-Secure
Paul Todd over on the Forum.Nokia blogs picked up on this and wasn't too thrilled
with the news.. see Paul's comments here
Given the investment that developers have put into the signing process, Paul
is correct in noting that there may be some dissapointed developers out there
once they get wind of this.
