It is possible to inflect sim card?

Avisitors

Hi,

Whether malware can inflect or be stored in sim card?Is f-secure able to solve this risk if it is really exist?

Simon

Not heard of that one. I guess there might be a risk if you bought a cheap SIM card from an unreputable source, but I would have thought the risk would be of higher call costs, rather than of potential infection from malware. Would be interesting to hear if anyone knows with more certainty.

Yes,but most of malicious charging application are based on software.I don't know whether sim virus exists.

Hi Avisitors,

 

I checked with our labs about this question. While we haven't seen such malware storing code inside a SIM card, there are certain malicious applications that would act as a 'man in the middle' instead, for example reading or sending SMS or phone calls. F-Secure Safe for Android protects against these malicious applications and scans your device for viruses, harmful content, and other threats to your device or your data.

f-secure safe is a good cellphone antivirus
