The 2011 smartphone boom in the global market, even in the late start of the Chinese market, under the strong impetus of operators, the average consumer also began to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, such as the original only in the Geek Group widely disseminated technical terminology familiar. Echoing this is the surge in smartphone sales. Statistics show that in the first quarter of this year, the Chinese market, more than 12 million smartphone sales, the year-on-year growth of more than 200%, of which the Android smartphone is more than 30%, has been fully approaching Symbian system, the Chinese smartphone market has become the most powerful force.  But it's worth noting that, at the same time, smartphone-triggered security concerns are also soaring, especially on the "open" Android platform, malware, suction fees, zombie Trojans are growing savagely. Malware has frequently emerged as one of the Android systems to fight Apple's iOS devices, Google's Android harsh App Store has always been known for its openness, and "without the cumbersome mechanisms of the App Store, third-party application developers will find paradise here" Such claims were once a manifesto for Google's appeal to users and developers. Yet this openness is causing trouble for Android users. Recently, according to foreign media reports, Google Android M Arket malware again, and one-time appeared in 26 of the many. The malware has been known to have entered the Android harsh App Store this March, and its content includes the previously notorious Droiddream malware, which transmits information from users ' phones to hackers without their knowledge.  According to related sources, this March, the Android M Arket has been under the framework of more than 50 Droiddream malware, the discovery of the other 26 has been variant version, concealment is stronger, so it is estimated that nearly 120,000 Android phones have been recruited. In fact, not only abroad, a variety of third-party Android applications in the domestic store also frequently appear malware figure. At the end of last month, the Network Qin "cloud Security" data Analysis Center issued emergency Mobile security alert, in the network forums, including QQ landlords, voice messages, short-range high-speed car, trader, jumping donkey, jungle monkeys, gold miners and other 20 of the Android application software found in the central discovery through the "AutoDial" The act of imposing a malicious deduction fee.  At the same time, the malicious software will automatically block the user's mobile phone installed in the part of the "mobile phone security Guardian" software protection function, so that it completely lost its role. It is reported that in recent years, under the Android platform for a number of consecutive causes of malicious software flooding caused by the security incidents, such as the February 2011 "Wang Fei" malicious deduction software continued to be implanted into more than 100 software applications for transmission, 2011 years May, "Android worm swarm" malicious software attacks, once the intruder mobile phone will automatically send a large number of debit messages.  And this time the Network Qin discovers 20 malicious software, is the first time discovers the existence "the automatic dialing" The behavior series Android malicious software. Manufacturers ' confidence is also shaking the ever-growing security problems on Android platforms, and the handset makers are starting to worry. "The Open Android App Store has led to poor performance in many handsets," Sanger Jia, the company's most loyal supporter ——— Motorola Mobile Technology's CEO, said recently. According to Sanjay, of all the Motorola Android smartphones that have been repaired, 70% of the quality problems are caused by third-party applications. Android Harsh is currently the most open App store, and almost anyone can upload apps, Sanjay, but because of this, the quality of the application is difficult to control, "especially with regard to the power consumption and CPU occupancy of mobile phones, Many application developers typically do not test.  "The proliferation of such applications has greatly compromised the performance of Android smartphones and the user experience has declined," Sanjay said. The same trouble is not only Motorola, the domestic early development of the Android platform mobile phone Lenovo in the application of the store also tried to avoid direct users to use the original ANDROIDM arket, which has policy reasons, but also more based on user security and product performance considerations. "We have our own application store, and set up a THIRD-PARTY application certification cooperation platform, the main push on the mobile phone is certified applications, if the user installed a Third-party application, our mobile phone will automatically pop-up dialog window, suggesting that there may be security issues." Lenovo music phone related people told reporters. Even telecoms operators are concerned about the proliferation of security risks in the Android app market.  Recently, Guangdong Mobile on the United many Third-party developers launched the Green Alliance of MM stores, promising all third-party applications will undergo a rigorous safety test before the use of users in order to avoid unnecessary personal privacy and loss of charges. In this respect, the Shenzhen War policy chief analyst Yang Qun told reporters: "Excessive openness is currently the largest Android App store short board, the lack of rigorous prior review mechanism is its current and iOS, the largest short board, which is why the Android shop in the proportion of less than 30% of paid applications, and Apple app The most important reason for the store's premium application is over 50%. Not paying attention to user Word-of-mouth not only makes the application security problems on the Android platform endless, it hurts the user's heart, but it also greatly affects the enthusiasm of third party application developers, and the Android App Store, even in the number of applicationsComplete the App store beyond, its market gold will only be stalled.
