Sounds a lot like a hit piece funded by M$
Symantec has an article being highlighted by Redmondmag about android malware infections. Here's the thing I skeptical taking info from a security company that isn't even sure what happened when they got hacked. I'm disinclined to believe they have the vaguest of clues about a platform they only just started supporting, and particularly suspicious of the Redmond magazine (a blog and magazine that focuses on Microsoft) publishing this info. Linux vis-a-vie android isn't windows Symantec, and your old bed buddy buying a negative study on a competitive product is not a new idea.
