"Cabir" is the name of the first Mobile Phone Virus in the U.S. 8 Months ago, it was first discovered in the Philippines. So far the virus has spread to twelve countries, and could pose as a threat to 1.5 billion cell phone users.  
 Mikko Hypponen, the director of "Finish Anti-Virus" Stated that the main problem occurring from the virus is damage to the battery.

It is thought that the very first transfer of the virus was in an gadget store. Two cell phones in a window were infected by a passer-by. Using Bluetooth to make the transfer, It's possible that other cell phones in the area could have been infected.
