The statistical data for this report came from all Kaspersky Lab mobile security solutions, not just Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus for Android. Consequently, the comparative data for 2017 may differ from the data for the same period published in the previous report. The analytical scope was expanded due to the growing popularity of various Kaspersky Lab products and their geographical reach, which made it possible to obtain statistically reliable data. On the whole, the more products we use in compiling the statistics, the more accurate the mobile threatscape that emerges.
