in making hfe easier but on the other hand it creates opportunities to commit criminal
actions as well.
The smartphones become part of our everyday life, and even they also replace in many
aspects the role of personal computers.
In the online world one of the most difficult task is to find the adequate balance of the
double clamping of the users convenience and the digital security.
Keywords: smartphone, digital, cyber-crime, Android, zero-day exploit, security
Smartphones become miniature computers. Such portable multimedia devices
that users use for a myriad of other functions besides telephone conversation. With
the Internet becoming available on mobile devices as well, the original functions of
telephones (calling, text messaging) have been marginalised along with countless
other functions.

browsing.
The phone can also be used as a camera, music player, notebook, appointment
book, navigation system etc. function. The latest devices can give you access in many
areas which can ease our everyday live.
