The virus described, which uses a secret SMS message to eavesdrop on just about anything the target device does, appears to be potentially very dangerous.

The other element of interest is how the virus, called RexSpy, came about. SecurStar Gmbh, a German firm, is credited in the story as having developed the Trojan as a “demonstration.”

We are making no accusations against SecurStar and have no reason to think the company has anything but the good of the public in mind. We question, however, the appropriateness of developing something dangerous for any reason.
