According to new a Juniper Research whitepaper, mobile device users continue to leave their phones and tablets unprotected from malware.
In fact, as much as 80 percent of smartphones remain unprotected, says the report.
This year, 325 million phones will have mobile malware protection installed, but Juniper believes that number will jump to 1.3 billion by 2018.
Android has become a major target for malware makers, due to its more open nature when compared to iOS and Windows Phone. Fortunately for the criminals, Android is the most popular operating system in the world, by a long shot.
