A recently discovered mobile malware program is giving Android devices a mind of their own, causing them to use Google Talk to secretly and repeatedly place outgoing calls to mysterious phone numbers approximately every two minutes.
Researchers at FireEye have found that certain iOS versions of the Vpon mobile ad software development kit (SKD) contain code that could allow bad actors to remotely take command of certain mobile apps.
Encrypted messaging app Telegram reportedly contains an unpatched vulnerability that bad actors can exploit to send massive text messages that drive up data charges or cause mobile phones to crash.
