Am I just missing it, or is there no list of of these infected apps on the posted article or the reference the article links to. To me, that is the most important information.

It is about halfway down the article, but you have to dodge a few adds to get to that part.

"The two apps mentioned in the report were called "PDF Reader and File Manager" by Tsarka Watchfaces and "QR Reader and File Manager" by risovanul."

Well, I did miss that, I was skimming for something like a large list or table. That still leaves 86/90+ unlisted.

Agreed. If this article didn’t contain a way to check the apps, that would be irritating
