Hacker Adam Gordiak claims to have hacked Nokia smartphones running the Symbian Series 40 OS. Claims to have found WAP-Push design flaw and Java Virtual Machine vulnerabilities. Also demands $20,000 ransom for revealing the flaw to the first taker. Hackers also claim to have also found vulnerabilities in Suns Java virtual Machine, a software environment that is in use with other types of smartphones as well. It will be interesting to find out if the hack is in someway related to a hardware bug or if Mr Gordiak is simply trying to hold just one phone manufacturer at a time up for ransom.”]
