NEARLY 1 million Chinese mobile phone users have unknowingly sent spam messages, costing them about 2 million yuan (US$300,000) a day, after being infected by a new cell phone malware.
The virus hidden in a bogus anti-virus application can send the phone user's SIM card information to hackers, who then remotely control the phone to constantly send URL links, usually pay-per-click ads, in text messages to almost every single contact in the user's address book.
Those who click the links will also get infected, thus causing the virus to spread rapidly, China Central Television reported today.
