INTERNET!~ I knew it was the SD card, I knew it! The Vodafone bot vector analysis I mentioned earlier this month was correct. It’s over.
The infection of microSD cards for the HTC Magic with the Mariposa information-stealing client and other strains of malware was first reported after Vodafone Spain supplied a malware-infected Android phone to a Panda worker earlier this month. [From the register]
Users get new microSD cards. Yay, but at what cost did buying the $2 phone really bring? 3,000+ phones infecting every windows machine that they come in contact with, snap. I guess that means more you have to start using Linux or scan your new phones with a Linux machine first. Hey there’s a new service, phone virus removal…

A group of researchers stole the ‘torpig’ bot-net for 10 days. Encryption madness ensued….
Here’s the google techtalk about what they did to take over the botnet and analyze it (get ready its long and boring (an hour and 15 minutes) but crazy):
