• Attacker starts worm by sending an email to a BlackBerry user of the form:

From:

To: "Bob Brickhaus" <[email protected]>

Subject: Cool Game

• The user opens the .jad file, and is prompted to download and install the .cod file.

• The .cod file installs itself as a start-up process with no icon.

• The user thinks the download didn't work, and thinks nothing more of it.

• The next time the BlackBerry starts-up, the malicious code is executed.

• It enumerates the contact list, and forwards the email to everyone on the list.

• Those users open the email and the cycle continues.

Note that while this attack requires user interaction, it is not dissimilar to the level of interaction required

by successful PC based mass mailing worms such as W32.Beagle.A@mm

. Also if the .jad file in question

uses spoofed information as described in a previous section, it may encourage unwary users to run this

unsafe code.
