Shanghai has
reported the country's first handset virus spread through Blue Tooth, a
short-range radio technology aimed at simplifying communications among Internet
devices and between devices and the Internet, technology, today's Being Morning
Post reported.
Because there is as yet little information about the virus,
named Caribe, there is no adequate way to protect against it, nor an effective
solution to kill it, the report said citing industry insiders.
Telecom
experts warn mobile phone users not to use the Blue Tooth function or to open
unidentified files if the function is operating.
Send the phones for checks
in case of any abnormality, they advise.
