Trojan Sends Premium-Rate SMS Messages, Aims At European and Canadian Android Users

A new Android Trojan program that poses as an SMS management application is sending text messages to premium-rate numbers in Europe and Canada. The program is dubbed Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.Foncy and, judging by various online reports, it appeared sometime in September. The code responsible for sending unauthorized text messages in Canada is broken, but the malware’s authors might have fixed this in newer versions. Android malware writers have shifted their attention toward the international market in recent months, Kaspersky Lab says.”]
