New Trojan Sends Spam

An ingenious new Trojan is circulating that hijacks PCs and uses them to send SMS-based spam to mobile phones, according to PC World.

"Although Delf-HA Trojan targets only Russian mobile networks, experts have warned that the same technique could be used to send spam to subscribers of networks in other countries.

Spam is not a new phenomenon on mobile phones but the volumes remain low compared to PC-based e-mail. Delf-HA could signal a depressing turning point."
