The Android platform does not have to be inherently vulnerable to security issues, but it is a little more open than many others. For this reason, it’s very important that one takes additional action to ensure that one's phone is simplest secure. Without securing one's phone, one may fall victim to the malware that preys upon Android users. There have been many Android applications released with malware or viruses within them in recent years, some of which targeted banking information and other important data. Mobile security isn’t an Android only concern, but rather a concern with all mobile devices.
Virtually anything can be uploaded to the Android marketplace; there aren’t the strict controls through Android that there are through iOS. For that reason, one needs to always read any product reviews regarding an application before installing it. One should also look through product information for any indication that there might be malware or other issues installed in the application. “Don’t only look at the popularity of an application when deciding whether or not it’s safe,” warns leading research expert from Armor for Android. “Studies have found that even the most popular applications may have malware.”
