Nintendo DS Gets Its Own Trojan
The DS obviously felt left out at all the publicity garnered by the PSP following the uncovering of the Trojan.PSPBrick virus last week, as news reaches us of a similar beastie on Nintendo’s portable console.
The, as yet unnamed trojan, disguises itself as homebrew software for viewing erotic Japanese art, so there’s none of the ‘I was only trying to role back my firmware’ excuse that PSP owners have for installing the virus.
Similarly to the PSP trojan, the DS version causes apparently irreparable damage to the firmware. We confidently expect the new virus to be called Trojan.DSBrick, or some such moniker.
