Don't panic about reports that 99% of malware targets Android devices, but do take precautions to ensure your device is secure
Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones, by far, and it's also the most open, in terms of how much you can customise your device – replacing its default keyboard, for example – as well as the approval process for developers to release new apps for it.
This openness is a boon for the tech-savvy Android user, because pretty much anything on their device that they don’t like can be swapped out for something better. They also tend to be pretty good at not installing apps that might play fast and loose with personal data. For them, Android doesn’t have a security problem.
What about everyone else, though? Android’s status as the world’s most popular smartphone OS means it has hundreds of millions of users who aren’t so clued-in on security. They’re not stupid or lazy: they’re just normal people. They’re the reason so many developers of viruses, other malware and privacy-flouting apps are targeting Android.
Cisco’s annual security report claimed in January that 99% of all malware in 2013 targeted Android devices, while security firm Kaspersky Lab suggested a similar figure of 98% in December last year.
"Android ticks all the boxes for cyber criminals – it’s a widely used OS that is easy to use for both app developers and malware authors alike," said Kaspersky's senior virus analyst Christian Funk, at a time when his company was detecting 315,000 new malicious files every day.
So, does Android have a big security problem? This is a question that is complicated by the fact that many of the companies warning about Android malware are also selling apps and services that promise to protect against it. They have a good view of what’s out there, but also an interest in talking up the risks.
But keeping your data safe on an Android device can be more about taking common-sense steps to minimise your risks, rather than assuming you need to splash out on a monthly security subscription – although there are plenty of choices for the latter if you decide that’s the route for you.
With that in mind, here are five tips for ensuring that your Android device is safe:
1. Be cautious when installing apps
Using the Google Play Store to download apps (or Amazon’s Appstore if you own one of its devices) already makes you among the more secure tiers of Android users – many dodgy apps are distributed through third-party Android app stores rather than the official ones.
Still, it’s best to exercise caution, especially when you happen upon what looks like a brand new version of a popular game. Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, Clash of Clans… fake versions of these regularly appear, so if something sets off warning bells (Candy Crush Saga 2, anyone?) it’s worth googling its title and checking its developer’s website to see if it’s a fake.
Also, read the reviews on the Google Play store – a surfeit of one-star reviews is a sign that something's wrong – and check the permissions that an app asks for before you install it. If anything here sets off warning bells – or simply makes you uncomfortable – it's a good prompt to walk away.
2. Watch out for phishing / SMS
Security on Android isn't just about the apps that you install on your phone. As with any device – Android or otherwise – be on your guard for phishing, sites that try to get you to enter personal data and/or credit card details. Text messages and emails can all be phishing methods, and just because you're on your phone doesn't make them less dangerous.Combating phishing on Android isn't so different from on your computer: useful advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Microsoft and Symantec will get you up to speed, while an additional tip is to never tap on a link in a text message from someone you don't know – even if it looks like a company you do business with.
3. Lock screen security
Another point that applies to every smartphone OS, not just Android. Have you got your device's lock-screen settings sorted, so that if it gets stolen, the thief can't access your apps and data? Google’s default settings will see you fair, but there are some third-party apps that take interesting and unusual spins on unlocking the phone.Picture Password Lockscreen, for example, gets you to unlock your phone by drawing points, lines and circles on any image you like. ERGO scans your ear and then gets you to unlock the device by holding it up to said lug. Fingerprint Scanner LockScreen is a cheeky Android equivalent of Apple’s iPhone 5s’ Touch ID – it pretends to scan your fingerprint, but really it’s just measuring how long your thumb rests on the screen.
4. Consider anti-virus software
If you'd still like to take the extra step of installing anti-virus software – or if you're thinking of putting it on the device of someone else (an older parent, for example) – a number of options are available from the big names of the security world.AVAST Software's Mobile Security & Antivirus, Bitdefender's Mobile Security & Antivirus, Lookout Security & Antivirus, Kaspersky Internet Security, Trend Micro's Mobile Security & Antivirus, Norton Security antivirus and McAfee Antivirus & Security all have four-star-plus ratings on Google play from thousands of reviewers, with the competitive market meaning they add new features regularly.
Which you choose depends more on which you've used on your computer before, but all offer a good level of security if you're concerned.
5. Consider a parental control app
You can follow many of the steps above, but can your children if they’re using your device, or have their own Android tablet and/or smartphone? A number of companies are trying to help with this challenge too, with parental control software capable of ensuring children don’t install apps that they shouldn’t, or compromise data on a shared device.Kids Place, Famigo, MMGuardian and Norton Family are four of the most popular examples, with varying features to control what apps are installed, what sites are being visited, and to set time limits on usage – and in some cases, add time as a reward for good behaviour.
Alternatively, you could spend a bit of time getting to grips with Android’s default features to set up different user profiles on a tablet, and make some of them restricted – found via the users option in your settings menu. But parenting skills are also important here: talking to your children about safe usage of their Android device is as important as trying to lock it down for them.
Tips on keeping your android device secure from threats
The rise of Google's mobile operating system, Android, has helped usher in the age of mobility, making smartphones and tablets available to the masses — instead of just being a niche product for the wealthy. This revolution has had a massive, positive impact on many people's lives, but it comes with a dark side. Android device security threats are growing in number, and those who ignore this burgeoning trend are risking their privacy, security and finances.A World of Android Device Threats
The Android OS is especially vulnerable to malware threats. Android malware comprised just 24 percent of all mobile malware threats in 2010, according to a recent Juniper Networks study, but now comprises a whopping 90 percent of all malware. The open nature of the platform — which allowed so many Android devices to flood the market in the first place — also makes it an ideal target for malware creators. They can get their software onto users' devices without taking care to expertly hide the malicious aspects of it. The bulk of this malware is revenue-driven, with more than 75 percent of the malicious software being used to trick users into sending texts to premium services for a fee. According to Juniper, each attack can bring in $10 for the attacker, a hefty haul when multiplied by the millions of devices out there.
But not all malware is designed for a quick cash-grab. Some programs capture personal information, including things like banking passwords, browsing trends or geographical location. This information can be used to steal from the user directly, or to sell for a million different uses.
This may all paint a fairly scary picture of the Android OS, but using a mobile device doesn't necessarily mean you're opening yourself up to an Android security attack. By following some fairly simple steps, you can protect your device from almost malicious software, allowing you to fully experience the mobile world without putting your information at risk.
Stay Up to Date
Updating your mobile security software isn't just a way to get enhanced features and better speeds, as Google and your device manufacturer pack a lot of back-end fixes into these updates. Juniper suggests that devices using the latest operating system version are immune to more than three-fourths of the malware out there, so be sure to check for updates regularly and download them when available.
Avoid Third-Party Download Sites
The breadth of available Android apps is one of the features that draw people to the platform, and Android makes it fairly easy to install applications from sources other than the official app store. While there are some interesting apps out there that are not available through Google, this is a great way to get malware onto your device. Google scans all the apps in its official store for obvious traces of malware, and manages to stop a great deal of them from reaching consumers. Third-party app stores don't necessarily have these protections, and malware creators know this.
Pay Attention to Permissions
Most people just blindly click through the permissions section when installing a new application, but this is one way to spot potential threats. That new game you downloaded to kill some time may need access to your file system to work properly, but it certainly doesn't need access to your text messages or location. When installing an application, read through the permission section before agreeing to the app's terms, and if the app asks for permission to anything that seems odd, don't install it.
Avoid Free Wi-Fi
Who doesn't like free things? Free, public Wi-Fi is, in many ways, a blessing, as it provides a fast Internet connection for your device without costing a cent. But these unsecured connections could prove disastrous for your private information. It's just as easy for a hacker or thief to connect to free Wi-Fi as it is for you, and once you're both on the same network, they can easily see almost all the information you're sending to the Internet. For WiFi Security, it's best to stick with secured connections, or if possible, your device's mobile connection.
Get Protected
The best way to keep your Android device safe is to use dedicated security software to constantly scan your device, and to check for threats on any new apps you've installed. But even this comes with some conditions. There are plenty of free mobile antivirus offerings out there, but many of these are just Trojans or viruses in disguise. For true mobile security, stick with brand-name offerings. They may charge for their constantly updated service, but it's a small price to pay for true security. Most of these apps come with free trials, so you can try them before you make a purchase, and the best can even protect your PC, or multiple Android devices, at the same time.
The world of Android device threats may be intimidating, but much like a personal computer, being smart about using your device is the best first step in protecting yourself. For those instances where being smart isn't enough, a robust mobile security solution that stays updated with emerging mobile threats is your best bet for staying safe in a mobile world.

Computers housing the world’s most sensitive data are usually “air-gapped” or isolated from the internet. They’re also not connected to other systems that are internet-connected, and their Bluetooth feature is disabled, too. Sometimes, workers are not even allowed to bring mobile phones within range of the computers. All of this is done to keep important data out of the hands of remote hackers.
But these security measures may be futile in the face of a new technique researchers in Israel have developed for stealthily extracting sensitive data from isolated machines—using radio frequency signals and a mobile phone.
The attack recalls a method the NSA has been secretly using for at least six years to siphon data in a similar manner. An NSA catalogue of spy tools leaked online last year describes systems that use radio frequency signals to remotely siphon data from air-gapped machines using transceivers—a combination receiver and transmitter—attached to or embedded in the computer instead of a mobile phone. The spy agency has reportedly used the method in China, Russia and even Iran. But the exact technique for doing this has never been revealed.
The researchers in Israel make no claims that theirs is the method used by the NSA, but Dudu Mimran, chief technology officer at the Israeli lab behind the research, acknowledges that if student researchers have discovered a method for using radio signals to extract data from hard-to-reach systems, professionals with more experience and resources likely have discovered it, too.
“We are doing research way behind people [like that],” he told WIRED. “The people who are doing that are getting a lot of money and are doing that [full time].”
Dubbed “AirHopper” by the researchers at Cyber Security Labs at Ben Gurion University, the proof-of-concept technique allows hackers and spies to surreptitiously siphon passwords and other data from an infected computer using radio signals generated and transmitted by the computer and received by a mobile phone. The research was conducted by Mordechai Guri, Gabi Kedma, Assaf Kachlon, and overseen by their advisor Yuval Elovici.
The attack borrows in part from previous research showing how radio signals (.pdf) can be generated by a computer’s video card (.pdf). The researchers in Israel have developed malware that exploits this vulnerability by generating radio signals that can transmit modulated data that is then received and decoded by the FM radio receiver built into mobile phones. FM receivers come installed in many mobile phones as an emergency backup, in part, for receiving radio transmissions when the internet and cell networks are down. Using this function, however, attackers can turn a ubiquitous and seemingly innocuous device into an ingenious spy tool. Though a company or agency may think it has protected its air-gapped network by detaching it from the outside world, the mobile phones on employee desktops and in their pockets still provide attackers with a vector to reach classified and other sensitive data.
The researchers tested two methods for transmitting digital data over audio signals but Audio Frequency-Shift Keying (A-FSK) turned out to be the most effective.
“[E]ach letter or character was keyed with different audio frequency,” they note in a paper released last week (.pdf) that describes their technique. “Using less than 40 distinct audio frequencies, we were able to encode simple textual data—both alphabetical and numerical. This method is very effective for transmitting short textual massages such as identifiers, key-stroking, keep-alive messages and notifications.
The data can be picked up by a mobile phone up to 23 feet away and then transmitted over Wi-Fi or a cellular network to an attacker’s command-and-control server. The victim’s own mobile phone can be used to receive and transmit the stolen data, or an attacker lurking outside an office or lab can use his own phone to pick up the transmission.
“With appropriate software, compatible radio signals can be produced by a compromised computer, utilizing the electromagnetic radiation associated with the video display adapter,” the researchers write. “This combination, of a transmitter with a widely used mobile receiver, creates a potential covert channel that is not being monitored by ordinary security instrumentation.”
The researchers note that the chain of attack “is rather complicated,” but it’s not beyond the skills and abilities already seen in advanced attacks conducted by hackers in China and elsewhere. Or by the NSA.
Generally the most common method for infecting air-gapped machines is a USB flash drive or other removable media. Once one air-gapped machine is infected, the malware can spread to other machines on an air-gapped network. Data can be extracted the same way, though this is more of a challenge. The malware stores stolen data on the machine until a flash drive is inserted, at which point data is copied to the drive. When the flash drive is then inserted into another computer that’s connected to the internet, the data gets transmitted back to the attackers’ command-and-control center. This method takes time, however, since it requires the attacker to wait until someone inserts a flash drive into the air-gapped machine and carries it to an internet-connected machine.
AirHopper, however, doesn’t require repeated action like this once the malware is installed. An attacker only needs to get their malicious transmitter code onto the targeted machine and then either install the malicious receiver component on the victim’s mobile phone or use the attacker’s own mobile phone in the vicinity of the computer to receive the data and transmit it to the attacker’s command-and-control server. The malware can be programmed to store siphoned data on the infected machine for later transmission at specified hours or intervals. The researchers also devised methods for hiding the data transmission on the targeted machine to avoid detection, including transmitting data only when the monitor is turned off or in sleep mode and altering the FM receiver on the phone so that there is no audible tone when data is transmitted to it.
Although the distance for transmitting data from an infected computer to a mobile phone is limited—due to the limitations of the receiver in phones—attackers could use a stronger portable receiver, set up in a parking lot for example or installed on a drone flying overhead, to pick up data from greater distances.
There are other limitations, however. The proof-of-concept test allows for data to be transmitted at only 60 bytes a second—about a line of text per second—which limits the speed and volume at which attackers could siphon data. But Mimran notes that over time, a lot of sensitive data can still be extracted this way.
For all those who still mistakenly believe that Apple Macs are immune from viruses and do not need antivirus protection, this piece of IT security news may come as a bit of a surprise. This new threat is called WireLurker and it infects non-jailbroken iOS devices when they are connected to the infected Apple Mac or desktop. WireLurker seems to have originated in China’s third-party Mac OS X app stores and it works by adding malicious codes to legal iOS apps. This is major news story for the Apple community, so watch this space for more. Read more here and here.

The recent partnership of WhatsApp with Open Whisper Systems is nothing but good news for users who might have questioned the security or privacy of their WhatsApp messages. In its latest update for Android, the company has integrated the TextSecure encryption protocol.
What Does this Mean?
With the TextSecure encryption protocol in place, your messages are end-to-end encrypted. In other words, your messages can be read only by you and the receiver. So, this eliminates the risk of a hacker or anyone decrypting and reading your messages while it is traveling to the recipient’s device.This Encryption Technology is Stronger than What Facebook and Google Uses
While our emails and messages on Facebook and Google are encrypted, they can still be read by authorities if permitted by law. TextSecure, on the other hand, ensures that the message is only read by the sender and the recipient, and no one else, nada. So, even if the government compels WhatsApp to share your data, there is no way they can do it. Hence, it can be safely said that this is the strongest security feature any major texting app has ever offered.As per reports, WhatsApp is by far the largest platform that has deployed end-to-end encrypted communication in history.
Limitations
As of now, the TextSecure protocol only encrypts your text messages and not group chats, images and videos. However, Open Whisper Systems has stated in a blog post that they will be rolling out support even for these issues in the near future.Do you have to Activate the TextSecure Protocol on your WhatsApp?
You do not have to do anything to turn this security feature ON, as it would be enabled by default. Also, this will not affect the way you use the WhatsApp in anyway. As Open Whisper Systems’ co-founder Moxie Marlinspike says it, “Ordinary users won’t know the difference, it’s totally frictionless.”For those who would like to know about this development and how the TextSecure protocol works, here are some useful sources you can gather knowledge from:

Android 5.0 aka Lollipop aka Android L is the new kid on the block, and it once more showcases Google’s ability to change the game. With the new Material Design UI, you will find that Android 5.0 is unlike any other Android version released so far. The new Nexus 9 tablet and upcoming Nexus 6 smartphone now come pre-installed with Lollipop and it is only a matter of weeks before we start seeing other devices running this version as well.
Along with all the other changes to UI, design, and functionality, an integral part of Android 5.0 is Google’s enhanced focus on security. There are several new features that Google has introduced this time around, and this focus shows us that Google too acknowledges the very real matter of security and privacy on Android smartphones around the world. Here are some of the notable Android Lollipop security features that Google now offers.
Earlier the encryption functionality could only be operated when needed. Not surprisingly, not many people knew about this feature or used it. But now Google has rectified that. All devices that run Android 5.0 will have the encryption turned on by default. This is a notable step that will help protect the data on devices in case of loss or theft. Default encryption blocks all the data on a smartphone if a remote attacker tries to steal it.
This feature has been created to secure Android devices by pairing them with other trusted devices such as other smartphones or wearables or even your car. Google hopes that this feature will replace the recommended, but not widely used, password or pattern lock on smartphones. Via this feature, the phone unlocks when it is in range of another Bluetooth or NFC enabled and paired device. This is especially useful for adopters of Android Wear and smartwatches. By pairing your Android with your watch, you can unlock it every time you take it out of your pocket and bring it closer to your watch. Of course, this is just one instance of using this, and there are many other ways in which this can be used as well.

Inbuilt Encryption
Earlier the encryption functionality could only be operated when needed. Not surprisingly, not many people knew about this feature or used it. But now Google has rectified that. All devices that run Android 5.0 will have the encryption turned on by default. This is a notable step that will help protect the data on devices in case of loss or theft. Default encryption blocks all the data on a smartphone if a remote attacker tries to steal it.
Smart Lock
This feature has been created to secure Android devices by pairing them with other trusted devices such as other smartphones or wearables or even your car. Google hopes that this feature will replace the recommended, but not widely used, password or pattern lock on smartphones. Via this feature, the phone unlocks when it is in range of another Bluetooth or NFC enabled and paired device. This is especially useful for adopters of Android Wear and smartwatches. By pairing your Android with your watch, you can unlock it every time you take it out of your pocket and bring it closer to your watch. Of course, this is just one instance of using this, and there are many other ways in which this can be used as well.
Guest Mode
This is a feature that has been present on recent Android tablets, but has now become the norm for all Android 5.0 devices. Earlier, multiple user accounts could be operated on Android tablets. Now, Guest Mode allows someone to lend out their Android phone or tablet to someone and create a brand new guest account for them. For the guest, this creates an experience that looks like it is starting from a hard factory reset. Once a guest is done, all that information can be wiped easily.
Screen Pinning
With this feature, you can give someone access to your phone and only allow them to use the app you want them to use, by pinning that app to the screen. This can be a hugely popular feature for parents who can hand their phone to their kid and only grant them access to an app or a game that they want them to play and nothing else on the device.
SELinux enforcing
Security Enhanced Linux is valid for all applications on a device and it provides enhanced protection against smartphone vulnerabilities and malware. This feature was initially developed by the NSA in 2000 so it is highly advanced and reliable when it comes to blocking external threats. Essentially, what this feature does is enforce a level of security and app isolation that nobody can bypass. This makes Android smartphones more resistant to malware and other dangers.
While these Android 5.0 security features from Google are commendable, they do not rectify all the prevalent security issues on the platform. We still highly recommend installing a premium Android security application, and you need not look further than Quick Heal Mobile Security. This product provides wholesome Android security and highly effective features that safeguard smartphones and tablets.
The recent outbreak of the Ebola virus has claimed over 1000 lives. While people in the affected regions are struggling to fight the infection and people elsewhere skeptical about its spread, cyber criminals are busy inventing new attack vectors in the form of malicious emails.
