It's the perfect formula to create a network "rented out to any crime group," BBC News reported.
The scams generally mean that the phones are used to spew spam, scalp tickets and attack blogs. "This is the most technically sophisticated threat we are facing and it's the most worrying to us," said Mr Linden.
