Crash a Nokia mobile phone by SMS

Posted on November 29, 2001 @ 10:37 in General

An article at The Register mentions that a hacker (aka security researcher) has found a way to crash certain Nokia mobile phones by sending a SMS message with a broken User Data Header. Pretty cool if you ask me. Now how the hell am I going to get my Nokia phone patched...? Microsoft at least offers their medicine in relatively easy applicable form. What's Nokia going to offer me?

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
