Kaspersky's Roman Unuchek researcher recently said that he and his team have accidentally discovered a trojan that is considered the most dangerous ever seen on the Android operating system. The name of this type of spyware is Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a. More specifically, this trojan can perform many tasks and can protect itself well against virus-based software.

Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a can send SMS messages to service numbers at large cost, download and install malware on your device or send to other devices via Bluetooth. In addition, this trojan can also perform some remote control commands with infected machines.

Roman also said the malware is always trying to hide and protect itself but rarely sees the same advanced features as Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a. In other words, this trojan can perform many malicious but very complex functions to isolate and destroy.

Kaspersky's team has not yet made specific announcements about how users can kill trojans if they encounter them or the current spread.

Popular Android means safety is increasingly threatened.
