Some 79% of malicious attacks on mobiles in 2012 occurred on devices running Google's Android operating system, US authorities have said.

Nokia's Symbian system, on the Finnish company's basic-feature handsets, had had the second-most malware attacks.

Apple's iOS had had 0.7% of attacks.

Android is the world's most popular mobile operating system, and the memo blamed its high share of attacks on its "market share and open-source architecture".

Nothing new here.. :rolleyes:
 
The most popular OS will be the most targeted one it's just a commonsense(consider the case of Windows attack compared to other OS like OS X MOUNTAIN LION or linux)....Mclovin which android phone you bought??
