Researchers have developed a low-profile Trojan horse program for Apple's iPhone that squashes babies in a way that is unlikely to be detected by either a user or antivirus software.
The malware, called OMG Fun Game!, squashes babies! Using various analysis techniques, OMG Fun Game!, monitors the camera to determine
when a baby is within striking distance, and then commands the user to "SWING YOUR IPHONE WILDLY FOR MORE POINTS!".
"We implemented OMG Fun Game! on an iPhone and evaluated our technique using baby dolls," they wrote. "Our study shows that a baby can quickly and brutally be squashed when identified during a particularly intense round of the game. Therefore, the threat of such an attack is real."
OMG Fun Game! is designed to get through the app store approval process without suspicion. For example, if we are being run in Cupertino, CA, we disable the baby detection algorithm.
So in another version of the app, we also added streaming video of the incident, which can be sent to a remote server without requiring the users permission.
It is installed on a device, users are unlikely to be aware of it's baby detection algorithm or that is uses the internet to communicate. All antivirus applications were unable to idenfity OMG Fun Game! as a malware trojan virus!
Apple has not responded to email inquiries about how they will protect the children.
Also here's some Android idiocy as well....
