Google's Android mobile OS has been struck by their first Trojan; security firm Kaspersky reports.

The trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a is being circulated around as an SMS, which falters the device while claiming it to be just another media player app. Infected users can send out SMS texts without consent.

The ones who receive this text are asked to install a small 13kb .APK which seeps in device and soon this is followed what is called as the texting out of premium rate phone numbers, to other members.

Kaspersky stated that the Android users might severely be affected in Russia, the place where the Trojan originated and criminals might as well actually charge for a price.

There are ample number of spywares for the OS, but the Trojan FakePlayer however, appears to be one of the first Trojan devised for Android.

Kaspersky stated: "The IT market research and analysis organization IDC has noted that those selling devices running Android are experiencing the highest growth in sales among smartphone manufacturers. As a result, we can expect to see a corresponding rise in the amount of malware targeting that platform."
