Hello!
One only runs into problems with Android when you go outside the Play Store for software. Somebody COULD develop a malware PPA or other exploit for Linux, I suppose, but it's extremely unlikely, and even if they did, it wouldn't stay around long; their keycode would be yanked.
I HAVE heard that some of the Russian hackers are working on some of their phishing and POS exploits for Linux now as well as Windows, but they've not 'gone mainstream' with them yet. When I went through Moscow during a trip to Russia in 2001, I remember visiting a store that had almost every software title you can imagine. They were ALL *PIRATED* copies...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
