U.S. federal regulators want to know how and when mobile phone manufacturers and cell phone carriers release security updates to assure its users’ security. Most smartphone models are not receiving available security patches, and the risk of malware infections, and data loss are leaving consumers vulnerable to attacks and putting businesses and corporate networks at risk.

The mobile phone makers include Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, and LG.
