If I recall correctly, the UAE carrier Etisalat sent out an SMS message to it's subscribers which slyly recommended the installation of an operating system update, and directed users to a link which DID NOT upgrade the operating system but installed a snooping software on the device.
So, my answers above are correct.
But people, however gullible, need to know what they are doing to their devices and what they are loading.
