I suspect this is anti-Android FUD... but then turn-about is fair play, from time to time. The original VentureBeat article, which has just been updated was from July of 2010. PING!

All systems are vulnerable, but Apple has the proper stance on this. The barrier to getting product into these ap stores had better be damned high, and IANAL but I’d think the companies fronting the stores could be open to some liability if not.

Isn't that headline just a bit misleading? It says "Malicious Data Theft App", but down around paragraph 8 it clarifies: "...no proof of malicious intent and in the past apps have been a bit overzealous in getting access to sensitive data with no ill intent."
Which is it?
Granted, sending user data anywhere is always suspect, and I'm certainly not defending or justifying.... just asking. Is there now proof of malice? Or is it still only suspected?

Okay, which app was it (name)? That would be something I, as an Android user, would really like to know. I read the article twice and didn’t see the name. I hate it when they do that.
