Why Android Is Best OS for Malwares?

Here are some reasons:

1. There are billions of android devices all around the world. So, finding a bait is as easy as breathing.

3. You can install the application in Other Public Stores. for example, We all know the 'Facebook' application doesn't have any malware. but this is true until you install it directly in Google Play. If you download it in other markets, You don't have any IDEA how much dangerous it is.

Google Play has multiple methods to filter and delete applications in the store. but hackers always bypass these methods and add malwares to them.
