The *Da Vinci Code* Infects Your Phone
The popularity around Dan Brown’s book, The Da Vinci Code, couldn’t have
gone unexploited by virus authors, who would do anything to spread their malicious creations.
According to the Mid Day Indian Daily, a virus bearing the name of the bestseller book has infected dozens of phones in India.
The virus spreads via wireless Bluetooth technology, and causes a message to pop up on Bluetooth devices: ‘Receive message via Bluetooth from Da Vinci Code?’
The malicious code is extremely dangerous, once the message is accepted, all the data on the phone being destroyed.
The only way to get rid of the Da Vinci Code virus is to format the phone and to reinstall the software.
As it always happens when viruses use different movies and books to spread, users are curious to see what’s behind the cryptic messages and they accept data transfers.
“The Da Vinci Code name actually excited me. I assumed the file was either an MMS clipping or a still and accepted it,” Mridul Sharma,
an operations manager, told Mid Day.

System crash
Mridul Sharma (32), an operations manager at an event management firm, received the virus during a corporate presentation a few days ago. “The Da Vinci Code name actually excited me. I assumed the file was either an MMS clipping or a still and accepted it.
My entire system collapsed and data was deleted. I had just bought my Nokia N91 handset worth Rs 31,000 and had to pay Rs 1,500 to format my mobile hard disk and reload the software,” said Sharma.
Common virus
“I received the virus on my laptop and phone. Apparently my Bluetooth device was active. The technician who repaired my phone told me this was a common virus, which had simply been renamed The Da Vinci Code to attract the users,” said 35-year-old Sanjay Menon.
Abhishek Datta, a software expert, said, “Once a phone is affected, formatting is the only option. You cannot retrieve your data.”
