According to the report of Kaspersky Lab trojan viruses have appeared in Indonesia and Russia that use SMS messages sent to a short number to send commands for transferring money from the user's account to another one. The Trojan-SMS.Python.Flocker, written by cyber criminals in the Python programming language, exists in five known variants, marked from ".ab" to ".af", which issue commands for transferring sums ranging from 0.45 tp 0.90 dollars. Although mobile viruses aren't very wide-spread nowadays, Kaspersky Lab warns everyone to be very cautious. Phones might store lots of personal information, business secrets and data used for making financial transactions, but a virus might be able to even steal typed passwords, so obtaining a proper antivirus would be just as important on a smartphone than on a computer.
