Symbian S60/Mobile Security: Malware and Spyware attacks in the wild?

[Sven Aluoor <aluoor () gmail com>]

Hi folks

I have a few questions regarding Symbian Security (and general mobile
security):

- Why there are virus scanners for Symbian? Are they
useful? What countermeasures they implement? Or they make only the
vendors rich?

- What are common attacks on Symbian based devices?

- How to harden a Symbian mobile phone?

- Are there malware and spyware in the wild?

- When I would download pirated software for Symbian, what is the risk?

kind regards
Sven
