More Information

Symb/Cabir-A is a worm written specifically for Nokia Series 60 mobile phones running the Symbian operating system.

The worm spreads as a Symbian SIS package named Caribe.sis. The package contains three components caribe.app, flo.mdl and caribe.rsc. The components are installed into the \system\apps\ directory on the device.

Once the worm is installed the worm runs every time the device is rebooted. Symb/Cabir-A attempts to send itself to bluetooth enabled devices found in the proximity of the infected mobile phone.
