According to the news release, "56% of Android phones in the marketplace today are running out-of-date and insecure versions of the Android operating system software. The study found that smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG often launch new phones with outdated software out of the box, and they are slow to upgrade these phones to the latest and most secure versions of Android.
