I still think this didn't get enough attention.

Thousands of smartphone applications in Apple (AAPL.O) & Google's (GOOGL.O) online stores contain computer code developed by a technology company, Pushwoosh, that presents itself as based in the United States, but is actually Russian.

The US Army said it had removed an app containing Pushwoosh code in March because of the same concerns. That app was used by soldiers at one of the country's main combat training bases.

@Gal_suburban thanks for posting this. Do you know if the list of the 8,000 apps that use the software is available somewhere? This article leaves me wondering if this shit is on my phone.
