Dog Wars app for Android is Trojanized - CNET News:

"An older version of a controversial Android app called "Dog Wars" has been modified to include a Trojan horse that takes actions without the device owner knowing it, according to security firm Symantec.

"The app sends a text message to everyone in the contact list that says, "I take pleasure in hurting small animals, just thought you should know that," and signs United States-based devices up for a text alert service operated by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Irfan Asrar wrote in a post on the Symantec blog."

Gee, what a shame.

Here's a Fox News article about a newer version of the "game" that's being sold on Google's Android apps site, and here's a site where the old (hacked) version is being offered.

I'm a pretty sturdy soul, but reading about this and seeing their promotional imagery literally nauseates me. As in, I feel very sick right now.
