Topic: Linux and Android Malware

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone out there is actively researching malware for Linux and Android.

I guess the Linux is a somewhat smaller target than Windows but would be interesting to see what the Malware activity level is on this arena and how cross platform malware is coming into play.

Likewise I am also interested in the Android platform and malware for it as well, especially given the increasing number of mobile devices being activated daily.

Cheers in advance

There ar lots of viruses that ar being developed for Android, it is an easy target as the code is open.
