About 60 rogue applications were found on Android Market over a couple of days in March according to Symantec’s Response Center.
Symantec revealed the extent of the rogue software in Google’s popular online marketplace as part of a study of the security of Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS mobile operating systems.
The study, titled A Window into Mobile Device Security: Examining the security approaches employed in Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, carried out in-depth evaluation of the two mobile platforms.
“The latest mobile platforms were designed with security in mind – both teams of engineers attempted to build security features directly into the operating system to limit attacks from the outset. However, while these security provisions raise the bar, they may be insufficient to protect the enterprise assets that regularly find their way onto devices.”
