Mobile “Zombie Virus” spread widely in China Targets SMS

Chinese Mobile users are having a very difficult time out there. Reportedly a new virus called Zombie Virus has spread rapidly. It's left users' phones vulnerable to the malicious hackers that created the virus. They've naturally taken advantage of that access to not only spread the virus further, but cash in by spamming the phones with money-making links all of which has also added up to about $300,000 a day in added text message charges for the users affected. The zombie virus is hidden in a fake anti-virus app. Once installed, the virus sends all of the names and phone numbers on a user’s SIM card to the hackers, who automatically take control the phone and send spam texts to friends and family. The texts are usually full of links that will infect others with the virus or are sent to pay to text phone numbers, enchasing hackers. The virus infected one million users by the end of the first week of September and has continued to grow since then. China’s National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team Center is working to solve the problem. They was no fix yet but hope it will be out soon there.
