Mobile security draws more attention while the mobile device gains its popularity. Malwares just like viruses, botnet and worms, become concerns since the frequently leakage of personal information. This paper investigates malicious attacks through Bluetooth and malwares in different operating systems of mobile devices such as Blackberry OS, iOS, Android OS and Windows Phone. Besides, countermeasures of vulnerability are also discussed to protect the security and privacy of mobile devices.
