Rogue apps rely on ignorance. Social engineering at its most criminal.

I don't think these rely on ignorance. . . it is pure fraud with these Apps. The only ignorance involved is downloading them from a non-Google Android Play Store source and thinking the app is safe.

This “survey” tells us almost nothing.

Of the apps ‘analyzed” that came up with malicious code, how many were IOS and how many were Android?

If the ratio was 1000:1, then the whole story was not told.

The YouVersion Bible app has been downloaded well over 100,000,000 times. Please don't lump this and other well designed apps in with a mandarin Bible app loaded with PRC tracking code.
