A researcher creates a botnet for your pocket—a likely sign of things to come. If you have a smart phone, online criminals may soon have your number. Smart phone malware is getting increasingly sophisticated, and now a security researcher has created software that turns a smart phone into a “zombie” that can be controlled remotely.

She will demonstrate the software at the Shmoocon hacking conference in Washington, D.C., later this month.
