How iPhone and Android Is it safe?

Smartphones now has the capability computing performance that almost resembles a desktop a few years ago. Android and iPhone one of them. With an amazing ability, a fast connection to the internet network to make the smartphone to be one place to store information and data. Applications that are widely available contributed to Smartphone (in this case especially the iPhone and Android) as mobile computing media which are widely used.

Then comes the issue of how safe use of the Android and iPhone?. With easy access to data via the internet and the number of online applications used, would cause the smartphone “exposed” in a “full contact” with the external network. And the bad side the possibility of “hackers” (hacking), which can harm the user, it could happen.

Apple’s iPhone as a producer doing a strict system for selecting the existing applications on a regular basis. The developers must have a developer account which is charged by Apple. Apple itself claims to have removed at least 10% application in the App Store for allegedly stealing user data.

For the Android, Google’s doing a different approach. Google does not do any selection of applications offered through the Android Market Place. Each application can be uploaded through the Android application store. Who can set an application is the “capabilities” (ability) of the application. So that Android applications will only do things that fit through the “capabilities” mentioned.

But many analysts who argue the Android system is a lot of disability, there is no measurable validation to ensure that Android applications are actually using the OS according to their needs. Opportunity for an Android application turned into the hacker (hacking) is still possible. Is quite prone to theft user name and password e-mail address, your paypal account and so forth.

In general, once we connect with the Internet and use a variety of smartphone applications (both for the iPhone and Android), risk of hackers (hacking / cracking) is quite large. It is advisable for wise in using the application. Changing email password regularly or not just store the username or password were applied to our personal account of existing applications.

In general, the iPhone has a better security system than Android in security monitoring applications for data users.
