F-Secure's blog is reporting news of Cabir in Singapore.
On a related note, I've just noticed that Trend Micro has an updated pattern file for their Pc-cillin for EPOC scanner. The scanner will only run on EPOC/Symbian devices. I have it installed on my Mako. Due to the EIKON dependency and perhaps STDLIB, the scanner will not run on the Series 60 phones.
The recent "outbreak" of Cabir in the Philippines is notable. Not so much for any infections but mainly for the rise of the Cabir disinfection business. Considering that people were willing to spend the cost of living equivalent of US$26+ to get rid of real and suspected infections. The scams were large enough to get press coverage outside of the Philippines. Looks like there is a business case for producing a Series 60 scanner. Especially if it's in your own backyard.
