Besides the theft of data via WiFi already discussed, the SMS with all sorts of deals are what takes the cake. Programs that run silently, data theft, and everything you can imagine can be achieved from SMS, warns Denis. The Trojans, these stars of this underworld, enter the SMS as usual. Sounds like a joke but the SMS offering erotic themes also include its most hardcore of the subject, in the case of Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer who immediately ordered four SMS to your contacts to provide access to pornographic web premium content.
