According to statistics provided by BitDefender Labs, the number of malware families for smartphones has increased significantly. Influenced by all the changes in phone industry, the history of cyber attacks is marked by several milestones.
Android Safety: Attack of the DroidDream
One of the great things about an Android phone is the access to a hefty number of open source apps. Unfortunately this could easily turn into a disadvantage with the growing number of Android apps that are being infected with malware. Since mobile devices are now also connected to the web, they can also be prone to online safety risks. Google has found over 50 apps infected with malware and immediately pulled it out form Android Market. The Android Police spotted these knock-off/pirated apps after some 50,000 user devices were infected.
