How Much Of A Problem Is Android Malware?According to Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab, the problem is really big. In a “Q2 IT Threat Evolution” report, the company claims that the “ number of new malicious programs targeting the Android platform has almost trebled in the second quarter of the year” and that during that quarter “over 14,900 new malicious programs targeting this platform were added to Kaspersky Lab’s database”.
“In the near future, we expect not only more malware, but more effective and dangerous malware targeting Android. Judging from existing trends, we should expect that cybercriminals will soon shift to more personalized attacks. This is primarily about malware hunting for confidential data with which to steal money from users’ credit cards”, said Yuri Namestnikov, Senior Malware Analyst at Kaspersky Lab.
