Android. Google's operating system is a growing danger to the phones it's installed on, or at least that's what a Kaspersky report on the evolution of mobile malware in 2018 says. According to the antivirus solution developer company, and not only that, in 2018 there were 116.5 million malware attacks, compared to 66.4 million in 2017, and most of them took place on Android.
Android. Kaspersky does not directly connect with this operating system, but since iOS does not have any antivirus or anti-malware solution, it does not really have anything to monitor there, so Google's operating system is targeted. We are talking about almost a doubling of malware attacks for mobile phones, and since more than 90% of them take place on Android, it is quite clear why people who want to buy a mobile phone should beware.
Android is EVEN MORE DANGEROUS for Phones
Android. Hackers mainly attack this operating system because it is much easier to exploit compared to iOS, where applications cannot infect other applications because of the way the operating system is thought. Kaspersky says that 2018 saw the most virulent malware attacks to date, with the number of affected users increasing by over 10%, and the overwhelming majority of them using the Android operating system on their mobile phones.
In 2018, mobile device users faced what could have been the fiercest cybercriminal onslaught ever seen. Over the course of the year, we observed both new mobile device infection techniques, such as DNS hijacking, along with an increased focus on enhanced distribution schemes, like SMS spam. Kaspersky Lab researchers have seen the number of attacks using malicious mobile software nearly double in just one year, with 116.5 million attacks observed in 2018, compared to 66.4 million in 2017.
Android. 2019 showed us that hackers are accelerating their attacks against the Android operating system because there is room to make even more money from phone users who cannot protect themselves. Unfortunately, this is how the New Smart Glasses Prepared by Apple for Launch will work with the iPhone! it still remains a very big vulnerability for people, and this in the conditions that some phones come with antivirus solutions pre-installed upon purchase.
Android. Even if you have not been affected by any problem of this kind until now, this does not mean that something cannot happen to you at any time, and that you should not protect yourself.
