Title of the IWWST 2005 keynote
Mobile Phone Malware - No Need to Panic (Yet?...)

Abstract
Over the last year we have seen several proof-of-concept trojans, worms and viruses written for mobile phones. So far there has not been any significant outbreak in the wild. We will discuss the real risk that such malware poses at present, how that risk is likely to develop, and how we can apply traditional computer security techniques to address the threat while considering the particular needs of mobile phone providers and users.
