Wow, that's rough. Not much you can do against a vulnerability that'll destroy the trust of your entire customer base. A DDOS is one thing but I probably would have paid the millions in this case.

I wonder how much it would have cost to push out an update to all of the Symbian devices in the wild at the time. It wouldn't have been easy, and would have been a PR nightmare, but it could have been done. The question is: would it have been worth it? I don't know, but hiding things rarely goes well. Then again, I don't know of any public instances where this has happened, but I'm sure Nokia aren't the only ones to have been hit by this.

  Assuming you could even reflash the firmware key.

  Code signing key compromise has happened at least for Red Hat and Adobe quite publicly. Plenty of malware use code signed windows device drivers with stolen(?) hw manufacturer keys, too.
