FireEye has uncovered and helped weaken one of the largest advanced mobile botnets to date. The botnet, which we are dubbing “MisoSMS,” has been used in at least 64 spyware campaigns, stealing text messages and emailing them to cybercriminals in China.

Damn, that's sophisticated. It's very interesting how it fools a user and acts. The most worrying thing about that is such malware spreads because ignorant and stupid people. Phones became like computers, and it's really imminent for mobile malware warfare to happen... it's basically every malware coder's dream come true to steal a shit load of information about the phone holder.
