Barcode scanner app on Google Play infects 10m users with one update

Article note: Aren't auto-updating never-stable software ecosystems great? The repository model works _great_ when there aren't profit incentives (see: Linux Distros), but paid app stores are just choke-points for exploitation, and it's a clear "This is why we can't have nice things." Also, this is _NOT_ about the Open-Source ZXing Barcode Scanner app... and in fact there seems to be a coordinated negative review campaign months after the most recent update to try to push people on to the malware-infested alternatives.
