PSA: 'Is this your photo?' SMS virus circulating

Warning: an SMS circulating with the message "Is this your photo?" and an attached link is currently circulating.

According to forum user xClementx, clicking the link will download and possibly install an APK called Photoviewer hosted by 6868android.com, which seems to be a variant of the ransomware virus that has become widespread in the US.

Thanks to limeh_HWZ on our forums for the original tip off.
