Experts at AdaptiveMobile have discovered a rare Android malware dubbed Selfmite that propagates via SMS text messages. The worm in fact sends malicious links to 20 contacts present in the device owners address book. The malicious link points to an APK file called TheSelfTimerV1k, the application once installed allows the Selfmite worm to convince users to download and install a file called mobogenie_122141003.apk. The malicious short goo.gl URL used to spread the malicious APK was visited 2,140 times until Google disabled it.”]
