SymbOS/Beselo family is capable of running on several Symbian devices. These devices include, but may not be limited to, Nokia 6600, 6630, 6680, 7610, N70 and N72 phones.
After an installation phase, the worm engages in a propagation routine. Phone numbers located in the contact list of the devices are harvested, and targeted by a viral MMS carrying a SIS-packed (Symbian Installation Source) version of the worm. However, the SIS file does not bear a .sis file extension -- rather, it is disguised as a multimedia file
Users may know they have been infected if they see unrecognized sent messages in their MMS outboxes.
