There is a botnet for Android !

Terr Zink, an engineer involved in the fight against spam employed at Microsoft, identified a botnet hiding on devices with Android.

Standard sends spam botnet of infected mobile devices using Yahoo! boxes. His data show that the botnet infected machine can be found in most of the Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe:

- I'll bet that the users of these phones drew a false application for Android, not to pay for real and have received a little more than they would like - says Zink.

Taking into account that in February discovered in China false applications for Android, which chose the same premium rate number - and this is good. But it does not change the fact that if you do not use any software to protect your phone, it's time to think about it.
