All about Android 4.4 Kitkat Version Security Features, requires an improvement!
In the world most of the people are using android operating system in their applications (mostly Samsung vendor phones), however the security is a question since a long time. Google Play store filled with the malware now a days, hence security application is a must now those who are downloading from app store.
Android Kitkat 4.4 version released now, however still security gaps to be fill in the next version. In the recent past, many of the security questions that have plagued Android were solved by third-party security vendors. The likes of Lookout, Kaspersky, McAfee and others have patrolled Android, plugging the holes that Google was too busy to see.
Where are those holes in Android security now? We turned to the antivirus maker Bitdefender for some reference.
Unlike Apple's iOS, the Google Play app store has long been much more vulnerable to malefactors; there's no formal review of apps prior to display like there is at Apple. One consequence: Waves of malware, spyware, viruses and trojans in Android apps.
Google has definitely come a long way on security for Android after the first mass wave of malware hit its app store in early 2011. But malicious hackers never sleep and are constantly evolving to find ways into users phones. With Android on near a billion devices in the world, that is a pretty big target for bad actors to chase. New types of Android malware such as thiefware (in 1.2% of apps in Google Play, according to Bitdefender) and fake antivirus apps are still targeting users.
