Looking at the data analysis gathered from the 700,000 applications and 10 million mobile devices worldwide, easily found on mobile malware is growing rapidly from January 1 / 2011, and while only a few to on devices running IOS of Apple, most geared to Android. There were 80 applications in Android poisoning in January. And in June, the figure was 400.
“Malware and spyware focused primarily on Android device, although there are commercial spyware ready to” unlock “the device IOS”, Lookout wrote in the report. “According to our data, in the month 6 / 2011, users encounter software Android poisoning increased by 2.5 times compared with the previous six months.”
This reasoning is quite easy: the application of IOS through the manual testing of Apple’s strict censorship before. Meanwhile, applications on Google’s Android Market are not subject to this process. This means that Google allows the application developer free to update their applications, and “open door” for malicious or illegal software from the source of contamination. Earlier this year, malicious code named DroidDreamLight has affected 34 applications on the Android Market.
However, iPhone users are still able to stick to their regular malware “jailbreak (unlock)” their own devices to run applications that have not been moderated by Apple. Lookout has listed a number of threats on the Web the first half of 2011, of which the cross-platform applications can affect both the Android and IOS.
“Last year, the IOS has witnessed many attackers taking advantage of browser vulnerabilities to launch malicious code when users access a Web site,” according to the Lookout. “Fortunately, we have not found evidence the vulnerability was exploited malicious use: mainly the users to manually” jailbreak “their devices.”
