    The article states this:
    That's as much as we know, and I haven't found a list yet.

    Thanks. In the past two apps I had were spying back to China. I think it's irresponsible of Google to not post a list.

    "The Google Security Team was already informed on the matter and all infected apps have been removed from Google Play."

    Glad that they have been removed from the store.
