First PocketPC backdoor trojan Brador.a; perhaps this is the beginning of the Pocket PC malware spike. I doubt this trojan has anything to do with the information released at the recent DEFCON. Per Kaspersky's press release Brador is another simple trojan lacking any of the detection evasion techniques of its Win32 cousins. Apparently the backdoor's author is also attempting to make some cash by selling the client to interested parties.
I was expecting, after reading Airscanner's presentation, that any new trojans and backdoors for the PocketPC would be more creative. The first wave of even more troubling viruses and trojans may be upon us soon.
