Watch Out: Opening SMS from Unknown Sources Can Crash Your PDA Phone

Filed in archive PDAs , SMS Services , Useful Info , Windows Mobile by Rico Mossesgeld on January 3, 2007

When not highlighting the dangers of Mobile TV, Ollie Whitehouse writes about an MMS exploit that affects Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phones. Turns out this little of software was created to highlight a publicly-discussed vulnerability that hasn't been patched for six months.

But don't worry. Only viewing the MMS will cause all hell to break loose. In other words, dear readers, don't open MMS from unknown sources, and you'll be fine.
