"An update pushed out to BlackBerry users on the Etisalat network in the
United Arab Emirates appears to contain remotely-triggered spyware that
allows the interception of messages and emails, as well as crippling
battery life.
Sent out as a WAP Push message, the update installs a Java file that one
curious customer decided to take a closer look at, only to discover an
application intended to intercept both email and text messages, sending
a copy to an Etisalat server without the user being aware of anything
beyond a slightly excessive battery drain."
