Updated Android Trojan Pushed in SEO Attacks

Mobile attacks may have reached a tipping point, as researchers observe search engine optimization used to spread a malicious program for mobile devices running the Android operating system. The application poses as a pornography media player, dubbed pornplayer.apk. It is not available on the Android Marketplace, but can be found online, through Russian language Web sites offered up to Web surfers looking for online pornography. Once installed, the application sends SMS messages to premium rate numbers without prompting the phone s owner to confirm the messages, which can cost US $6 each.
