Mobile fraud is a dangerous plague on Android apps

Mobile apps rely on their operating system for more than just code development. Usually, the choice between iOS and Android can result in very different levels of sales and profit, but it can also mean varying degrees of vulnerability. Android vulnerability makes for fairly frequent news events, and it’s not surprising considering that Android apps carry a 4% risk of dangerous mobile transactions (graphics above). Compare that to 6% from Windows and Blackerry, and Apple’s 2% for iPad and 3% for iPhone.

The numbers come from a study with Iovation that studies mobile trends and impacts.
