Java Mobile phone trojan application
Bill Day has blogged some info about a “malware” application from Russian that sends SMSs to a premium rate number secretly, costing the end user a fortune. The thing is this is just a classic con “I’ll say I’ll do something for you, but actually I’ll shaft you instead”.
In the same way we can’t trust people that just turn up at our door (sadly), we can’t trust applications we install, no matter what platform we are using.
