Jun 28, 2016 15:15 GMT  ·  By Catalin Cimpanu At least six countries, if not more, have been hit by a smishing (SMS phishing) campaign targeting Android devices, security firm FireEye reports.
 
Crooks are spamming users with SMS messages across different countries via targeted campaigns, luring users to access malicious URLs and install malware-infected applications.
