    It’s sooo much easier to exfiltrate data over the internet. Why would any virus use short messages?

      SMS is pretty useless for exfiltrating data, however it’s very useful for charging random individuals if you have remotely infiltrated their device IMO

      In some countries, special SMS messages can charge you money (billed to either your contract, or withdrawn from your call money immediately if you don’t have a contract)… They are usually used for gambling and TV competitions though
