Reuters reports that last year the number of threats aimed at mobile phones grew significantly. Security firm McAfee said that the number of new malware threats for mobile devices in 2010 that were discovered rose 46% over the levels in 2009.

Google Android is being targeted by malware that embeds itself into apps and games according to McAfee. While malware and Trojans are increasing, McAfee confirms what other security firms have been saying, spam overall is decreasing. McAfee itself is undergoing some big changes. 

Mobile malware jumped 46 percent in 2010 compared to the previous year, according to a report from McAfee. Of the almost 55 million total pieces of malware McAfee Labs has identified, 36 percent was created in 2010.
