No big surprise here but the recent increase in the smart phone market has triggered hackers and cybercriminals to dust off some old tricks to try and install diallers and other exploits on smart phones.
People that fall into the traps of installing applications on smartphones end up with software that dials out to premium rate phone lines. Leaving the victim of such attacks with enormous phone bills and little or no way of retrieving a refund.
The diallers are mainly found on mobile porn sites, so if you are into that kind of thing, be careful and don’t download anything unless you are absolutely sure it’s safe to do so.
