Using an Android smartphone? Beware of these top 10 threats

Ahead of Mobile World Congress, F-Secure has released its list of Top 10 Android Threats from the past year. It has also revealed a new threat that we must watch out for in 2016.

Why this should concern us is because according to a report, India has the most malware infected Android smartphone. A report by Trend Micro also revealed that there are over 35% devices affected by a malicious malware capable of rooting Android devices.

Now, we have a new list by F-Secure lab that sheds light on the how the attackers have been taking aim at users of the open source OS. As the tech world prepares to converge on Mobile World Congress(MWC) 2016, the list is a stark reminder of the need for security for all things connected.
