Android: the great victim of mobile malware


Android is an excellent operating system. It is stable, fast and has a huge number of applications available. Besides all this, is the most popular mobile platform in the world. But have a problem, or rather, one big problem: the malware. Not the first time we talked about Android and its problems with viruses, but this issue is going from bad to worse.
99.9% of new malware phones discovered during the first quarter of this year are designed to attack Android phones, according to a new report from security firm Kaspersky Lab.
The vast majority of these are viruses trojans, which as you know are among the most used in the world at the computer. Additionally, most of these Trojans are the kind that sends SMS to premium numbers, and thus steal money from the victim.
Kaspersky Lab also detected that there was a "boom" of mobile viruses lately, since the amount of new malware discovered in only three months is equivalent to half of all discovered during 2012.
We hope that Google implement some new technology in software anti-malware soon, because things are getting more serious for Android.
