So this old lady can ignore this?
There are two things going on here. First, there is a legit issue with bad apps exploiting your phone, and it needs to be tightened up.
However, Google is doing more than that here. I believe this is an attempt by Google to blacklist jailbroken phones so that Google Play Store apps will refuse to run on them.
The former is fine, but the latter sucks. The Google Android community needs to bitch loudly about taking away the right to own our device and put our own stuff on it.

Apple devices are jailbroken. Android devices are rooted.
K, thanks.
