Smartphones suffer Skulls attack

Owners of some Nokia smartphones are being warned to watch out for malicious wallpaper, reports the BBC.

"Those downloading the software could find all the icons on their 7610 phone swapped for images of skulls.

When installed the malicious program also locks many of the 7610's functions making it hard to use and harder to repair.

The program is only the latest in a series of viruses produced to attack mobile phones. "
