Our Mobile Threat Report for Q1 2014 is out! Here's a couple of the things we cover in it:
The vast majority of the new threats found was on Android (no surprise there), which accounted for 275 out of 277 new families we saw in this period, leaving 1 new malware apiece on iOS and Symbian.
In Q1, our Mobile Security product users mostly reported encountering trojans that did some form of silent SMS-sending (mainly from the Fakeinst and SMSSend families). It should be interesting to see how the 4.2 update to the Android OS (which requires user confirmation when premium-rate SMSes are sent) impacts these trojans.
This was an active quarter for mobile malware development, with a number of "firsts" reported.
