malware vodafone?

"Security researchers have found that Vodafone, one of the world's
larger wireless providers, is distributing some HTC phones with malware
pre-installed on them. The phone, HTC's Magic, runs the Google Android
mobile operating system, and is one of the more popular handsets right
now. A researcher at Panda Software received one of the handsets
recently, and upon attaching it to her PC, found that the phone was
pre-loaded with the Mariposa bot client. Mariposa has been in the news
of late thanks to some arrests connected to the operation of the botnet."
