Apologies if the headline seems a little cryptic. This a link to an ongoing discussion on reddit about how 21 popular apps on the android marketplace were downloaded, had root exploit code added before being repackaged and put up on the official android market for download. There's since been between 50,000-200,000 downloads of these trojaned apps in the past 4 days. There's some commentary here: http://blog.mylookout.com/2011/03/security-alert-malware-found-in-official-android-market-droiddream/ http://blog.mylookout.com/2011/03/security-alert-malware-fou... along with a list of publishers and applications. If you're an android developer you might want to check this out. If you've been affected I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings about this here.
