- breakingcups 9y agoAh, but mobile devices are usually hidden behind a providers NAT and nearly all applications that are interactable and could be semi-directly contacted (eg. messaging apps) are written in a managed language, so a spread like we've seen with WCry is less likely to happen. Having said that, have you seen the amount of malware hiding in advertisements for Android? There's a lot.
- chrisbennet 9y agoWell then, if you're talking phones. The Windows phone is less likely to get a virus than Android phone. Like I said, it's simply a question of popularity - it makes more sense to target a popular OS if you're writing a virus.
