DO YOU KNOW WHAT A "RAT" IS?

NOPE....

Well, yes, that is a rat, and they come in all sizes. The rat I was asking you about was the "Remote Access Trojan" used by a group of Chinese hackers called "Luckycat". If I asked you, "What OS did they attack first?" You would be correct if you answered "Microsoft Windows". Heck, I think almost all of these groups attack Windows (in it's various flavors - XP, Vista, 7, and very soon 8) just to get their feet wet.

Well, Luckycat is now breaching the Android operating system, so - if you smell a rat in an APP [ed.- or SMS message], perhaps you've discovered a Remote Access Trojan!! Trendmicro seems to be on top of things like this, so if you're using your Android Phone or Tablet without protection, I would recommend it.
