Just what you always wanted: A malware botnet on Android devices. But you have to be really dumb to get infected.
I guess people like you need protection from this.
BTW can you access your file system on iOS? (File system, not files).
You are living in the past in an antique way of accessing and handling files. My files are on my computer at home, at my office, or on the cloud so that ALL my devices have access to them and to the latest revisions of them. I have terabytes of files available to me when I need them. Terabytes.
You obviously have no concept of how that works, do you? I can access AND control both my office and home computers from my iPhone or my iPad AND access and use any application on their desktops. You just be happy with your $100 fragmented Android tablet.
Oh, by the way, that botnet spread on Android with little user involvement:
Vaughan-Nichols reports, “If the user clicks on the link, a file named mms.apk, containing Opfake.a, is automatically loaded onto the smartphone or tablet. Then again, the user has to be a bit of an idiot and users run the downloaded program.”
Obviously, the users were idiots. They ran the downloaded program and added their phones and tablets to the botnet. "Gee, I wonder what this is?" Tap. Tap.
97% of mobile malware in the wild is on Android... The other 3% is for Symbian, Rimm, Windows, and "Jailbroken" iPhones. None in the wild is for iOS.
And, no, I don't need protection from this. I don't buy vulnerable junk. . . like people who think they have to have access to their file system do, just like the crooks who write malware.
