Malware found on second Vodafone HTC Magic
"When Panda Security found malware on a brand new Android-based Vodafone HTC Magic earlier this month, Vodafone said it was an "isolated local incident." Now, a second phone has been found harboring malware, including a program that turns infected machines into zombies as part of the Mariposa credit card and bank log-in-stealing botnet, according to Spain-based PandaLabs.
After hearing about PandaLabs' discovery, an employee at another Spanish security company, S21Sec, checked his recently-acquired HTC Magic and found the Mariposa malware lurking on it, according to a PandaLabs blog post on Wednesday."
Beware...even brand new phones got malware
