Curse of Silence' Attack Can Disable Texting On Most Nokia Phones

Phones using a number of popular versions of the Symbian S60 mobile OS (the Nokia N95, E71 and N76 just to name a few) can be partially disabled by a maliciously coded text.

The attack has been lamely dubbed "The Curse of Silence".
