Hi,

I have read about this issue on several news pages but they did not go into 
detail, so I am also interested in more details.

I am wondering if we are 'just' facing a capability leak of the permission 
SEND_SMS here or if it is even possible to install any application without 
asking the user for granting it's permissions.

Can anyone image what's going on here?

Cheers,
Ethan
