New Android virus super sophisticated.

It is worth to read this following article:

"It seems like every other week, we hear of a new piece of malware that's been wreaking havoc on Android phones. But a new Trojan uncovered by Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab stands head and shoulders above the ever-growing crowd of Android-targeted malware.
What the malware, technically named Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a, does is nothing new: It sends text messages, or SMS, to premium numbers, as the charges accrue on the infected-Android user's account.
In addition, the Trojan gathers personal data stored on the phone and sends it to a remote server controlled by the cyber-criminals who created it.
But how the criminals actually carry out the cyberattack is much more interesting — and more dangerous.  The coders of this malware obviously know what they're doing."
