New Android malware disguised as security app

Google's Android mobile platform is the target of a new variant of a widely used malware capable of stealing personal information.

The latest Zeus malware masquerades as a premium security app to lure people into downloading the Trojan, Kaspersky Lab reported Monday. The fake security app, called the Android Security Suite Premium, first appeared in early June with newer versions released since then.

Such malware presents a threat to consumers, as well as businesses that allow employees to use their personal devices on the corporate network. A Dimensional Research survey of IT professionals found that more than 70 percent said mobile devices contributed to increased security risks and that Android introduced the greatest risk. Issued in January, the report was sponsored by firewall vendor Check Point Software Technologies.

Apple, Android and The Decline of the Euro

If you look around Europe for countries to backstop Germany in the deepening crisis, you’ll find there are very few.  You might read of a Euro zone of 17 countries, but, in fact, these are mostly minnows. The countries that stand behind Germany are France and Italy, one with an inflexible labor market, hampering recovery, the other on the point of its own crisis.

Behind these two come smaller countries like Holland and Finland, both of whom are heartily sick of Germany’s bailout program. Of these Finland is having to rewrite its history almost as fast as Spain.

Is Samsung looking to leave Android?

Samsung Electronics' new CEO called for the company to redouble its focus on software, which could hint at a move away from Android and toward its own proprietary operating system.

Samsung has long desired to push its own integrated hardware and software experience, investing in its Bada operating system and selling devices in select markets. But the popularity of Android, which powers its most successful smartphone and tablet devices, including its flagship Galaxy S III phone, means the company can't exactly quit the platform.

Samsung has been steadily investing in its own proprietary software, an initiative that new CEO Kwon Oh-hyun fully supports.
