F-secure received a sample of new Symbian trojan Doomboot.A that drops Commwarrior.B and breaks the phone so that it does not boot anymore. The technique used to break the phone is identified as new.

The Doomboot.A causes the phone not to boot anymore and Commwarrior causes so much Bluetooth traffic that the phone will run out of battery in less than one hour. Thus the user who gets his phone infected with Doomboot.A has less than one hour to figure out what is happening and disinfect his phone, or he will lose all data.

The phone can be recovered by hard reset key but the phone's data will be wipe out completely.
