Ads 'biggest mobile malware risk'

Adverts on websites are now the biggest source of malware on mobile phones, according to a study.

Research by security company Blue Coat suggests web adverts have overtaken pornography as the most common way for users to encounter a malware threat.

Mobile malware is growing, but accounts for just 1% of all malware threats, networking company Cisco says.
