Fight cuts spams by nearly 50%
Print Edition
RELENTLESS efforts by telecommunication carriers, the police and security software firms have cut by nearly half the number of spam messages in China but Qihoo 360 warned that malicious mobile applications have become a major concern.
In 2015, Qihoo 360 uncovered 31.8 billion spam short messages, down 48.1 percent from a year ago, said the country’s biggest online security firm, with over 600 million users, in a report.
But malicious mobile apps, which direct users to fraud websites and advertising, have been worrying the industry, said the report. In 2015, 19 million new malicious mobile apps infected 370 million handsets in China.
China requires all mobile phone users to register real identity and asked telecom carriers to block numbers without identity details.
