<\/a><\/center>A new study has found that Google’s<\/a> (GOOG<\/a>) mobile operating system is targeted by hackers far more than any other mobile platform. Security firm F-Secure found that Android<\/a> accounted for 79% of all mobile malware in 2012, an increase from 66.7% in 2011 and 11.25% in 2010. Apple’s<\/a> (AAPL<\/a>) iOS platform on the other hand has remained nearly untouched throughout the years. Malware on the operating system, which is the second most popular among smartphone buyers<\/a>, was found to account for only 0.7% in 2012. The firm also found that Android saw a significant increase in malware at the end of the year, accounting for 94% of all threats in the fourth quarter. Most malware, however, is found in emerging markets. A majority of mobile users in Europe and the United States will never be affected but should still be cautious of suspicious text messages, links and emails. F-Secure’s graph outlining mobile malware threats is posted below. <\/p>\n
