Popular security company Kaspersky Labs has today revealed Google's open source mobile phone system, Android, now has it's first SMS-based trojan.

The trojan, called Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a, is 13 KB in size and poses as a seemingly legit media player for smartphones running Android. Behind the scenes however, it's an entirely different story Kaspersky Labs says, with the Trojan secretly exploiting the system to send SMS messages to premium rate numbers at a cost to the owner.
