Sophos is out with their new Malware report for 2018 forecast. No surprise that Android Malware has been on the rise. But, PUA's, or potentially unwanted apps, has decreased. One thing I like about Sophos Mobile Security, is the reports on apps with "Low Reputation" usually, because they are not yet widely distributed, meaning, low user base because they are fairly new, or found on XDA and F-Droid. But, if you use Shady app stores, this could be a real life saver.

Here is a direct download link to the report. PDF 23 pages.
