The first text message-based Trojan to infect smartphones running Google’s Android operating system has been detected in the wild. Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer-A poses as a harmless media player application and has already infected a number of mobile devices, Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab warns. In a statement, Google said it existing permission controls guard against this type of type, which only exist for applications published outside the Android Marketplace. Users must explicitly approve this access in order to continue with the installation, and they may uninstall applications at any time.
