If this is true, I'm disturbed by the fact that:

1. Google has failed to tell any of us this, 2. I don't even know if I had any of the vendor's applications in the past, as they have been removed entirely, AND 3. Google has failed to tell any of us this!

I mean what the hell, at least send us an email telling us that because we downloaded AppXYZ, our data has been compromised by some low-life(s) in China. I'm going to end up being a lot less likely to download random apps now, not only because of this really sketchy incident, but because of the lack of transparency on Google's part.

Damn.
