CALIFORNIA - A recent research report, shows that malware on Android devices has been increased up to 614 percent. Research conducted by Juniper Networks this also explained there are currently 276 259 malicious applications in the green robot platform. This number increased compared to the first quarter of 2012 last that only amounted to 38 689 malware.
