The majority of the information floating around the internet regarding these applications originally comes from http://www.firsttechcu.com/home/security/fraud/security_fraud.html, which claims that the 09Droid (mistakenly termed "Droid09") applications are malicious. Because the apps were pulled from the market in mid-December, nobody, other than us, has performed in-depth analysis on them, resulting in rampant speculation. While it's entirely possible that the applications were malicious, the developer intending to deploy a malicious update after gaining a large user base, we found that the applications were nothing more than a thin wrapper around mobile banking websites.
