A couple of months back a large percentage of the apps in the Apple store were carrying malware. No mobile device is secure.
That's BS. . . and totally untrue. Apple's App Store were not compromised. China's App store had a total of 37 compromised Chinese language apps caused by XghostTools, none of which reached the USA, all the rest were on Chinese third party App stores for Jailbroken iPhones. . . and those totaled about 4000 apps out of over 1.5 million.
