way to go boyHackers have placed viruses in games that run on Microsoft Window’s operating systems for smartphones. A firm specializing in the security of mobile phones and devices, which is San Francisco-based, states the games that are affected are PDA Poker Art and 3D Anti-Terrorist.

These games have malicious software that triggers it to dial premium telephone services in Italy, Somalia, or other countries running up monthly charges. The programmers who made the software are the people running it. People do not realize what is going on until they receive their phone bills.

It will be littered with charges to other countries. It could run your bill up by hundreds of dollars. Even if the gamers are downloading from legit sites it can still carry malware. At this time, Microsoft is not commenting while they look into the situation. Someone always hacks something if it can compute. Whether it is a chip implanted or an on board computer, if it can be built it can be broken into. Expect the attacks to continue with smart phone sales on the rise and many manufacturers jumping into the market.
