“After the apps are downloaded from Google Play, they’re repackaged with the malicious code and distributed on third-party websites. Lookout is seeing the highest number of detections in the US, Germany, Iran, Russia, India, Jamaica, Sudan, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. The report is the latest to underscore the risks of using third-party markets. There are no indications that any of the trojanized apps have made their way into Google Play. “

This is not a huge issue, for people using non-Apple phones if they don’t use third-party markets.

Apple has the same issue, don’t use third party sites and download apps from websites.
