What the F
I've owned 5 android phones, 2XHTC, 1XSamsung and 2XLG I have never had a CD provided with the phone. Do you know what your talking about or are you mistakenly thinking everything is like an Iphone. I wouldn't know about Iphones btw I have never owned one thus I would not know if they came with a CD or not but my knowledge I have never had a CD provided with any phone.
Now what the F are you talking about a shared PC, holy crap dude get out of the 90's. Most people are buying tablets to replace their PC... have you not read anything in the last 2 years, at all. I personally will always buy a PC as long as they sell them so yes I do backup my phone on my PC but since ubuntu does a better job at connecting to my phone then windows does I use linux for this (add phablet-tools repo) I don't worry. My parent use ubuntu, my sister uses ubuntu, my wife and children use ubuntu. No Windows in my house except my gaming rig, and that system is only used for gaming ... nothing else. So I have no worries about this malware, although since there is a lot of released code for people to review (AOSP) it will be the first platform that proof of concepts get made.
In the long run security through obscurity does not and will never work... cough cough APPLE cough. Just because this is known does not mean there isn't such a beast hiding in IOS, the fact that Apple can remote kill your phone says that there are huge gaping holes in that OS as well. Been in computer security domain (reverse engineer and analyst/researcher) for over 10 years I can say if it is created by humans it is hackable period. So get the F off you high horse dumbass and think before you post.
BTW I am currently getting a degree in Software Engineering and believe me when I say that the way universities teach comp-sci it is no wonder why there are so many vulnerabilities... Hey university Professors try to teach debugging it is more important than coding. In my opinion half of the 1st and 2nd year prog courses should be that alone, so many fail out cause they don't know how to debug.
Also I must say since the condition are not mentioned in this article make sure if you want to be safe on any platform never unlock/root/jail-break any phone and your chances are greatly reduced.... cough cough alpine cough ;)
