A little common sense is all that's needed to avoid the latest piece of scareware making the rounds
Here's how to avoid the latest "ZOMG SCARY ANDROID BOTNET SCARY SCAM!!!" of the week.
- Don't click on obviously spammy text messages from people you don't know.
- Don't click on obviously spammy text messages from people you do know.
- Don't leave leave your phone's built-in security features turned off unless you absolutely need to.
If it seems like we've been here before, well, we have. This week's worry is "SpamSoldier," which uses an infected phone to send a bunch of spammy SMSs to other phones, inviting them to download free apps or games or other free offers that, of course, are trojans that then send hundreds of spammy SMSs to your contacts. It's the evil cycle of life.
