In time, a virus appeared that especially attacked Apple devices, the software affected both devices that have been illegally altered and those that maintain the original software.
Unsurprisingly, the Android system is the preferred target for virus writers worldwide, and now Nokia has come to the fore to declare the obvious and provide some figures to support its research, thus giving privileges to iPhone users.
Nokia's latest report ensures that, Android is by far the most attacked mobile platform, with at least 68,50% do malware specifically targeted to the Google operating system. O Windows is the second with 27,96%, while the 3.54% the rest are for the “other” category which also includes the iPhone.
These statistics make sure that it is a plus for Apple and its users, this is because it is included in the category Others, which means that the stake could be much lower than 3,5%.
What is the reason Android has the highest percentage?
The main reason the Android platform is targeted is the fact that Android apps can be downloaded from anywhere. Despite Google's very successful efforts to ensure that the Play Store be free from malware, Android users can continue to install applications by clicking links in text messages and email.
Recently the security company ESET warned at the outset that at least eight different applications infected with malware several stages have been published in the Google Play Store, recording at least several hundred downloads before being removed by Google.
