"Android Security Vulnerabilities Differ by Country, Say Researchers"

According to researchers at F-Secure, Android devices manufactured by Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, and others are being shipped and sold with significantly different levels of on-board security in different regions. The differences in Android security vulnerabilities by region emphasize the importance of increasing knowledge and understanding of Android device security globally. This discovery also highlights the value of vulnerability research. F-Secure's researchers have stressed the importance of raising awareness among device manufacturers in different countries about how problematic the growth of custom-Android builds can be in regard to security. This article continues to discuss the distribution of Android devices that offer different levels of security to users located in different regions, what different levels of on-board security by country indicate, and the security vulnerabilities contained by devices tested by F-Secure's researchers.
