I noticed this has the smell of press-release-as-a-news-report, with Lookout being an Android security company, and them being pretty much the only source in the article. Makes me a little skeptical on how big of an issue this really is. I wonder if there's any solid estimates on what percent of devices are in these phone botnets, and in what regions. I would be interested in knowing more about how they actually compromise individual devices, but the article, and the linked Lookout blog post, seem light on those details.
