Android malware now spreading through hacked Web sites


Malware is now being targeted to Android devices via compromised Web sites, a first in the mobile world, says security firm Lookout.


"A device infected with NotCompatible could potentially be used to gain access to normally protected information or systems, such as those maintained by enterprise or government," Lookout said yesterday in a blog post.

    Ya gotta be careful out there. Just like iOS, if you disable the built-in protections then make sure you know what you're installing. The malware you mentioned doesn't affect smartphones and tablets with the default Android app settings.
