Just in time for PayPal Mobile, there’s a Trojan that called RedBrowser that pretends to browse the web using SMS instead of a WAN connection. Instead of giving you sweet, sweet Internet access, however, it runs up $5 and $6 SMS charges for folks on the Russian Beeline, MTS and Megafon networks. Would we be stupid enough to fall for it here? Ummm…
