The researchers say in the study (PDF) that is due to the fragmented distribution of Android – almost nobody runs the same version – and that third parties such as Samsung, LG and HTC are responsible for closing security holes in their own version of Android.
Nexus devices are the safest, as the researchers found. Nexus devices running namely a bare version of Android, without the peel that a third party there often occurs around it.
Of those differences LG’s version is the safest, presumably because LG in the past is much more involved been engaged in the production of Nexus devices. After LG monitor manufacturers like Motorola, Samsung, Sony and HTC at some distance.
“The security of Android depends on the water leaks on time,” the researchers conclude. “Unfortunately, there are only a few devices have at time updates. On average there are 1.26 security updates per year, which sets often long periods of time are susceptible to attackers. We have shown that the meek in the Android ecosystem to developers She sits fail to provide timely updates and to seal dangerous security holes “
