Very Bad Virus

[Ed H.]

To all who use your phones for internet work. I just received a notice from a techie friend regarding a virus:
BE AWARE OF AN ITEM CALLED " THE DANCE OF THE POPE". It is an extremely destructive down load as it will give the person
or group that is providing this item access to items inside your phone. Fore warned is fore armed.

IT security consulting is what I do. This is most likely a promulgation of a hoax and not a real virus...
That notwithstanding, its never a good idea to open an email from an unknown recipient....

It's a case of the hoax being the virus. Happens all the time.
