Almost 70% of malware is targeted at android

Security is a topic of enormous importance in mobile phones. We regularly see how some threats arise that put the security and privacy of users at risk. From malware to scams or applications that obtain information about the user. Cases where security is at risk increase. Especially on Android phones.

Almost 70% of malware is targeted at Android

As many of you may have noticed, most malware attacks appear to be targeting phones running Google's operating system. A report by Nokia seems to corroborate this information. Nokia's Threat Intelligence Report confirms that Android is the preferred victim for malware attacks.

Android more vulnerable to malware attacks than iOS

The difference between the two operating systems is remarkable. 68.5% of the malware that has been designed is intended for Android. While the second place is occupied by Windows with 29.56%. In the case of devices with iOS we see that only 3.54% of malware has been designed for this operating system. So the favorite victims of criminals is found on Android.

Historically, security on Apple devices has been noted for being high. So it is not so easy to attack them. While Android has shown on numerous occasions to have some serious security flaws. In addition, it is relatively easy to get some malware to sneak into Google Play.

This type of report is an accolade for Apple devices, which they see as their reputation is even more positive. Although, for Google it is a good opportunity. Achieving major security improvements will go a long way for your devices.
