Question

Assume you've just purchased a new smartphone and are thrilled about the variety of applications available. You've come upon an intriguing new game for your phone that you'd want to try. You conduct a fast Web search for it and discover that one of the free markets has a version. You will be prompted to confirm the access rights given to this software when you download and start to install it. It asks for permission to "Send SMS messages" and "Access your address book," as you can see. Should you be wary if a game asks for these kinds of permissions? Should you give these rights and install the app, what danger does it represent to your smartphone? What kind of malware is it likely to be?
