Virus makes leap from PC to PDA

Oh this sucks. According to News.com, there has allegedly been an instance of a a PC virus jumping ship over to a connected mobile device.

The malicious software, dubbed “Crossover,” was sent anonymously to the Mobile Antivirus Researchers Association, the group said in a statement released on Monday. The virus is a proof-of-concept bug and was not released in the wild, meaning that it doesn’t pose an actual risk for PC and device users.

“Crossover is the first malware to be able to infect both a Windows desktop computer as well as a PDA running Windows Mobile for Pocket PC,” the research group said. Source: News.com
