they aren't.

It's IMPOSSIBLE for you to know that, 'nospam'.

out of the billions of phones out there, nobody has found any evidence

Christian Lueg, the spokesperson for G Data said that the malware was
injected by a middleman

in other words, not during the manufacturing process.

So what about possible hidden malware which may *NOT* have (yet) been found?
