The fact that you did not get it the first time probably means you shouldn’t be laughing.

I am always amazed how many connection attempts I get any time I turn my bluetooth on at a ballgame. It makes you wonder if anyone actually accepts these. And amusingly I am sure some do.

Bluetooth? You’re kidding me right!

Windows Mobile can be infected in so many ways. All you need to do is to bundle a nasty executable with an otherwise normal application (might be your app or a tampered with CAB) and put that executable as a startup item. At reboot, that executable would copy itself (so it is not removed when uninstalling the CAB) and then launch its copy.

Then it’s up to that bugger to wreak havoc on the device.
