Palm users: You are not immune

zire 31

Just to remind everyone out there who uses a Palm that you're just as susceptible to viruses, worms, trojans, and other badness as your Pocket PC and Smartphone toting brethren, some developer created a new proof-of-concept trojan (i.e. it isn't self-propagating, so you have to be foolish enough to either install it yourself or open it as an attachment to an email) called Sierpenski's Triangle Trojan 1.0 that deletes all of the internal memory of handhelds running on the Palm operating system. Not the first one of these for the Palm OS, but with more and more smartphones expected to follow in the footsteps of the Treo, this certainly isn't the last, either.
