Another Magic Found to Have Malware

An employee at a Spanish security company found Mariposa malware on his HTC Magic phone.

Following Panda Security's recent discovery of malware on a Vodafone HTC Magic phone, a second HTC Magic phone has also been found to have malware.

"After hearing about PandaLabs' discovery, an employee at another Spanish security company, S21Sec, checked his recently-acquired HTC Magic and found the Mariposa malware lurking on it, according to a PandaLabs blog post on Wednesday," writes CNET News' Elinor Mills.

"PandaLabs connected the S21Sec employee's microSD card to his PC and found that the smartphone was loaded with the malware on March 1, more than a week before he had received the phone from Vodafone," Mills writes.
