Abstract
Mobile devices are used almost every day by a large population of the world. If your device is not running Apple's operating system, it is most likely running Google's Android operating system. We see Android OS in phones, tablets, and e-readers. Since Android OS is so popular, it comes with a lot of security issues, being open source comes with a lot of threats from malicious users that have access to the software. Due to this, Android users must take extra precautions when it comes to protecting their devices. This paper will discuss what these threats to Android devices are and how someone would go about protecting their devices.
