Android phone users seem to have to be careful and further enhance the security of mobile phones. The
reason, a study conducted McAfee, the antivirus which is owned Intel,
found that the primary target for mobile malware is new is the Android
device.
McAfee also adds, in the third quarter of 2011, up 37 percent of malware Android. Although
lower than that reached the second quarter increased 76 percent, but
this figure shows malware on Android devices is a real threat.
At
the end of 2010, McAfee estimated that malware will never reach 70
million unique samples until the end of 2011, but in fact, not until the
end of the year, 75 million samples of malware has been attacking.
Based
on research conducted McAfee, malware authors take advantage of the
popularity of Android devices as well as its security weaknesses. One
form of fraud bervirus the most popular in the third quarter is the
sender of an SMS Trojan that collects personal information and steal
money from there. Another method is to steal user information from records telephone conversations and send it automatically to the hackers.
