Czech group claimed credit for Cabir cell phone virus

I must have missed this in the articles related to the cell phone virus, Cabir, but according to the Prague Post, a Czech group claimed credit.

"An anonymous e-mail sent June 16 contained the first computer virus capable of infecting mobile telephones. The sender claimed to be from the 29A group, a shadowy consortium of virus writers mostly located in the Czech Republic."

If this is old news, apologies!
