Cabir is a bluetooth using worm that runs in Symbian mobile phones that support Series 60 platform.
So Cabir is capable of spreading widely only in cases where the phone that sent the infected file is out of range before user activates the Cabir in a new phone.
Which means, that while Cabir is capable of spreading in the wild, it would spread quite slowly and would not cause large epidemic.
