I disagree. Finding recognizable chunks of code is what antivirus software does every day. And while they're not perfect, the OpenSSL code in question here isn't exactly trying to hide, unlike viruses in real life. This was obviously an oversight, but I would expect that after this, they run occasional tests of the app verification process across all apps, and not just verify the apps themselves don't crash.
In fact, they must be doing this kind of thing right now -- how else could they contact all the affected developers?
