Microsoft Contest Gives Windows Phones Away To Android Users Infected With Malware

Way to hit them while they’re down. Android has a bit of an malware issue with 22 more apps in their official marketplace being malicious. 


These apps sent pricy SMS messages without your knowledge (but were in the TOS that you ‘accept’ when you start the app). 


There were over 14,000 downloads of these ‘apps’ and Microsoft is looking to profit off of it. Share your story and they’re giving away 5 Windows Phones to those impacted.


Great, simple marketing scheme. I love it.
