ANDROID TEXT VIRUS KILLS YOUR PHONE

A deadly new phone virus is wiping data from Android phones via a single text. The Mazar malware was spotted by Danish security company Heimdal, which said it had infected 100,000 phones in the country. It spreads by sending what looks like a harmless multimedia message to your phone. Clicking it downloads the malware. Heimdal isn’t sure whether Mazar has spread beyond Denmark, but UK security experts expect it to target users worldwide.
