Brett Stone-Gross of Dell SecureWorks has excellent analysis of Android malware being distributed via the Cutwail spam botnet.

"The distribution of the Stels trojan through a spam campaign is unusual for Android malware".

That's a bit of an understatement.

Stone-Gross's analysis is significant evidence of Android malware's evolution into mass-market crimeware.
