The Register is reporting a new trojan for Windows that infects PCs only to send out SMS messages via free web-based text message services in Russia. Fortunately (for us), it’s confined to only Russia for now, but it’s notable—not because it’s a trojan, exactly, but because it means someone thinks there is money in SMS spam.
So far I’ve only gotten SMS spam from my phone carrier. That’s bad enough.
