F-Secure : News from the Lab: "
So how come anybody ever gets infected by it if you have to click 'Yes' so many times?
Well, we've spoken to many people who've actually been infected, and they typically explain it like this: They got this weird message on the phone, requesting a 'Yes' or 'No' answer. So they clicked 'No'. But the message popped up immediatly again. And they clicked 'No' - only to see the message pop up again. And since 'No' didn't seem to be working, they clicked 'Yes'...
The message would have disappeared if they would have walked away from the area where they were (to get out of the range of the infected phone), but there's no way for an end user to know that. "
