The researchers did not disclose the names of the 90+ apps and whether they had been reported to Google for takedown.
great policy from google and the researchers, now we can be paranoid about ALL the apps...
I have been trying to avoid installing apps for a while and use web when possible, I guess I wasn't overreacting... but man is it hard, as everyone and their mom want you to install their app, even if its a simple web wrapper most of the times...
Doesn't look like it.
