Android overtakes Symbian in another vital market… malware

A recent study conducted by security software provider McAfee found that the amount of malicious software, also known as malware, targeting Android had jumped 76 percent since the previous quarter, a remarkable rise in just three months. At the same time, Android had surpassed Symbian as the most attacked mobile platform.

The caveat of course being a snake-oil salesman telling you more snakes are on the new system, but hey, another victory for Android!
