USING ANONYMIZED DATA FROM 1 BILLION PHONES, GOOGLE HAS SET THE BAR FOR ANDROID SECURITY. WILL APPLE FOLLOW SUIT? Google just released its 2014 Android Security Year in Review, an intensely data-driven report intended to bring transparency to the vulnerability of phones running on Android. Its findings: fewer than 0.15% of devices that only install from Google Play had a Potentially Harmful App (PHA)—apps that pose a threat to users or their data— installed. Overall, fewer than 1% of Android devices had a PHA installed in 2014. Apple, Microsoft, and Blackberry haven’t released similar figures."
