According to the results of the
"Mobile CyberThreats" survey carried out by Kaspersky Lab and INTERPOL between August 2013 and July 2014, malicious programs targeting Android-based devices in order to steal their owners’ money were used in 60% of attacks registered by Kaspersky Lab security products. The fraudsters mostly targeted users in Russia, but Ukraine, Spain, the UK, Vietnam, Malaysia, Germany, India and France also faced attacks.
In absolute terms, there were more than 588,000 Android users worldwide who faced financial malware (Trojan-SMS and Trojan-Banker) during the reporting period. That is six times greater than the number from the equivalent period 12 months earlier.
