A few days ago, research firm GfK released the 2010 3rd quarter report on mobile phone safety research, the report describes the statistics based on sales and shipments, Android in Asia has gone beyond the Symbian system. Indeed, many of my friends have been around for the Android phone, but despite more Android's customized, open wider, but the security, due to its many friends there, "errors" led to the current is facing more number of security risks.Android phones will clear the virus disguised as the system used its own software, games, wallpaper, etc., including the software store, Android App Store and Android forums trick users to download and install, in order to achieve a wide range of communication purposes. Once the mistake to run this program, the virus will automatically networking, malicious processes started in the background, stealing mobile phones in the privacy of the content, or even a direct threat to the user's property.Previously, some users on the Android platform, there is a certain understanding of the safety of misunderstanding, even the existence of "Android platform, non-toxic" arguments, misunderstandings, including:Misunderstanding 1: Android software store high security?Most Android Android users will choose to store only way to get all kinds of mobile phone download software, software store for the official, many users more trust.However, in our recent mobile phone viruses intercepted, many are in the Android software store to download and spread.Error 2: Android software itself is very safe?The fact is that adhering to the Android platform, free and open service concept, application developers more products varies, making it difficult to guarantee security.For example, many users can develop their own, or use of open source code to modify the software, once in the economic considerations, malicious virus code, the user's mobile phone will be a serious threat to security.Misunderstanding 3: Android phone system has a secure authentication mechanism?We know, including Symbian and other mobile phone operating system, there are digital signature verification mechanism, a lot of friends that proven to be safe, but this is actually a big misunderstanding, because the mobile phone operating system vendors can only be more integrity of the process to detect whether there is a security risk? It is difficult to determine the. And the current, Android mobile phone system authentication mechanism itself is relatively weak, as it can only guarantee the stability of the download process, data integrity testing, can not verify the source Android mobile phone software, as well as possible after the installation process to determine the behavior, Therefore, the security can not be guaranteed.In this regard, I believe Android platform with intelligent machines currently in hurricane-like growth in market share, and the open source platform of the characteristics of its own, Android phones in 2011 is expected to become a key target for hackers. Android phones all at the same time in the purchase, should be concerned about their safety, their privacy has been careful to steal, and even loss of important data, which has now had a lot of cases.
