Did you try to check the basic setup of the linux system, like users set up in /etc/shadow (is there shadow~ as a backup?) , groups and their permissions, cronjobs for specific users and system users?
Did you try to get chkrootkit from debian repo installed?

can you log the dbus commands used to send sms? (if the program is using that interface)

It's beginning to look like it might have been smscon. When I looked at smscon's logs, it stated something like, "WARNING: running in stolen mode". It would then send SMS messages to +0123456789 periodically. Also ever since removing smscon I haven't had any outgoing sms messages to egypt or romania (YET).

However, I will keep you updated because it might not be smscon.

You may want to ask in the SMSCON thread and also read the smscon wiki page.
I have been using SMSCON with no issues for sometime.

The +0123456789 number you speak of in the logs maybe incorrect, IIRC some of the smscon.log personal data is stripped for security reasons.

The +0123456789 is of course a dummy (not a valid country code), so there may be any number behind.
Keep us updated ...

One solution that's worth trying, if you've got an old/other phone about is to get a PAYG sim and the minimum credit. Then use this PAYG number as the smscon "emergency contact". If you try the number of someone you know, warm him/her first: if you wake up at 3 o'clock in the night and check your phone for the time, he/she will get an sms!

smscon is not malware but, yes, it will send messages to the predefined number whenever the phone does something.

No sms messages out to egypt or romania so far.

For the record I didn't configure smscon either, I just installed it.

I had it installed a year or two ago without having this problem. So I wonder if the maintainers/developers updated it?

So far.. no more outgoing messages to Egypt or Romania.. I think it may have been smscon.
