i was just going through the F-Secure(Leading mobile antivirus website) and found this news.
It says something like this:
An easily reproducible SMS exploit was disclosed and demonstrated today at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3). The exploit is effective against a wide range of Symbian S60 smartphones and will effectively prohibit victims from receiving SMS messages.

It also says:

According to Engel’s research, the exploit affects the messaging components of Nokia Series 60 phone versions 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, and 3.1. Our own tests determined that Sony Ericsson UiQ devices are vulnerable as well.Versions 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, and 3.1 are also better known as S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2; S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3; S60 3rd Edition (initial release); and S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 respectively.

That’s a lot of numbers…

Now after this hype i did a bit of research about what exactly this spam will do and my conclusion is:

At a max it will fill up your message inbox!

Correct me if i am wrong. Isn’t all the new n-series has unlimited message space! So at a max we may need to delete the whole inbox selecting all the messages!

Anyways i was searching for some more info and got the following youtube video.

What do you guys say?
