Actually, AirPush is kinda a grey zone. It's PUP at best, definitely not malware (it "just" displays really annoying advertisements).

Probably the article was removed. The bug caused some problems in the internal systems of Play Store (Google Play Console).

Thanks God I'm on 4.4.4 which is not affected. This was one of my wishes of avast! Mobile Security protection. But, maybe due to technical reasons and Android limitations, I was never heard. And people still rely on the lockscreen password. A simple adb command just delete it :'(

When it comes to Malware, the APKs spread all around the web are really dangerous as they are full of virus. Similarly, the Hack & coin generator kind of tools are also very dangerous for mobile malware. Such as this post hxtp://noxappplayer.com/dream-league-soccer-2017-hack/ might provide the hack tool but it is very difficult to say whether they are providing the right tool or not.

So beware of such websites and don't get trapped by them just for getting something for free!

The idea is a good one. Enforcement as usual is not so great.

July 20, 2022: New app submissions and app updates will be rejected in Play Console if there are unresolved issues with the form.
Old apps if they don't have that information ready can simple display
“No info available” in the Data safety section of the app.
I checked quite a few apps and found that "No info available" message.

I haven't read this (yet), but I have seen other reports that aren't so good for google.

Strange how there are still many bad apps being detected in 2022 ?

Still work to be done when apps are being submitted so they don't get on there in the first place.

EDIT: Just read it and it sounds more like a Google Pixel promotion.

I actually think this isn't a bad thing, apps that haven't been updated in years, could well be vulnerable, not fully compatible with latest Android/iOS versions.

So I don't feel it is just a privacy/compliance issue.

Making old news new again -

Disclosure and fix
Checkmarx reported the issue to Amazon on November 7, 2021,
and the internet giant confirmed the reception the next day,
classifying it as a high-severity vulnerability.
On December 18, 2021, Amazon informed Checkmarx that they had resolved
the issues via a security update deployed into production. However,
users of the app were never informed of the potential exposure.
If you use the app make sure it's been updated.
Unless you've turned off the default settings, that would have happened
automatically.
