Security software provider McAfee said today that the amount of malware, or malicious software, targeting Androids phones jumped 76 percent since the last quarter, making it the most heavily attacked mobile operating system. In addition, the company has found 12 million unique types of malware in the first half, a 22 percent increase from a year ago, and expects to end the year with a database of 75 million samples of malware.
