Phone hacking through SMS

AC Question

I am getting a SMS that seems to be a hacking command.
Can anyone tell what this command does?

I got a SMS today seems to be a hacking command.

On September 12, I had got an SMS from the same phone number which seems to be a hacking command too:

It looks like someone is trying to run a file copy command ("dd") to copy the files on my phone to a remote ftp server.

Is this really happening?
Can anyone execute UNIX commands on Android phones just by sending an SMS?

I am very worried.

In case the code you initially included in your post is actually malicious, I redacted that as well, to prevent other unscrupulous users from trying it out on other people.
