Rogue Dialers

[lejars1]

Rogue dialers have previously been a problem related to PCs. A trojan gets onto a computer which is connected by a dila-up modem. The during a period of inactivity the trojan starts dialing premium numbers, producing profits to the rogues and huge bills for the telephone account holder.

I fully expect this to become a problem on the new generation of phone/PDAs.

Anyone any thoughts or experience of this?

Theoretically possible, but nothing to worry about yet. Any more than there is to worry about PPC viruses.
