![]() These fake Flash Player apps are carriers for premium SMS Trojans that are programmed to send out three SMS messages to a premium service setup by the malware author - costing the user between $8 and $12. Use3rs are even guided through the process of rooting their Android device so the malware can be installed on it - a procedure that isn't required for the legitimate Flash Player app. The company has already found several Russian websites and one English site offering fake Adobe Flash Player downloads. "Of course, it's possible that some Android users have missed that deadline, so they venture on to other parts of the Internet in search of alternative download sites," said GFI Software research analyst Jovi Umawing.
