A rogue Android app being spread from unofficial markets shames pirates by sending embarrassing SMS messages to all of their contacts.
It seems that the recent trend of repackaging legit Android apps with malware has inspired anti-piracy activists who have adapted the technique to teach copyright infringers a lesson.
In order to lure pirates into installing their rogue app, its creators pass it as a pirated version of "Walk and Text," a legit app that normally costs $1.54.
Upon installation, the app displays a dialog reading "Cracking..." and sends phone number, model, IMEI, and other identification data to a remote server.
