"The malware and cybercrime are a growing problem for home networks and mobile devices, including Android smartphones and tablets become targets of more frequent," said Kevin McNamee, security architect and director of Kindsight Security Labs " Alcatel-Lucent . The latter states that "users do not always protect their mobile devices as they should, even if they do, a malicious application can easily evade anti-virus installed."
