It doesn't matter what device you own..
As complexity increases, we're going to see more and more of this on all platforms. The only reason Windows phone users are mostly unaffected is because there are so few out there that malware writers are targeting more popular platforms. (Ironic if you think of all the malware that affects Windows)
I'm not sure what the solution is, but you can only add so much security to a device and platform before the usability is affected beyond any gain in security. I think the efforts to not be pwned have to come from the OS devs, the service providers, the app store overseers, and also the public has to be smart enough not to click on everything that comes their way. (of course there are idiots that will sleep with anyone and not use condoms either)
With millions of lines of code even in fairly simple games these days, much less an operating system, it's currently impossible to anticipate every crack that someone will find a way to stick their foot in.
