Criminals are willing to pay thousands of euros for a discontinued Nokia mobile phone with a software problem that can be exploited to hack into online bank accounts. About 10 days ago, investigators observed someone transfer 25,000 (US$32,413) for a Nokia 1100 phone. The candy-bar style phone is one of Nokia s all-time best-selling models, and originally sold for under 100. The Nokia 1100 is a discontinued model of the Nokia 1100, which sold for less than $100.
