iPhone is safer than Android

Smartphone using Android operating system proved weak and vulnerable before hacker attacks as well as viruses than iPhone, security firm Trend Micro said.

" Android is an open source environment, which means that hackers understand the background and source code as much as developers out there, " Steve Chang told B loomberg Businessweek . " In this respect, we have to appreciate Apple because they are very cautious. Some viruses cannot work on the iPhone platform ."

For its part, Google does not object to Chang's judgment . " For all computing devices, users need to trust more or less on the application author they are using. Because Android's mechanism is open, we do not have a mechanism to censor applications. Before they were available on the App Store, however, users were informed about this and they should study it carefully and send a little more faith in a brand-new application .

In the iPhone ecosystem, users can be a little more secure because Apple reviews and censors all applications before allowing them to be sold on the App Store.

With smartphones becoming more popular and popular, they will inevitably become attractive targets in the eyes of hackers . Smartphone is the next PC, and once they are widely used in the enterprise, data theft or leakage will be a real headache , "Mr. Chang said.

Therefore, users also need to secure their smartphones as much as they do with computers : installing dedicated security applications for smartphones from reputable software firms to prevent viruses and incidents. Unintended calls or hacker attacks.
