Fake mail app update on Market (I mean Google Play)

Today I found an update .. it's in Russian (I'm not) and it seems to be update to email app. It can be downloaded and installed, based on comments (I did not do it). Looks like malware .. any ideas how is that possible ?
It says MTC mobile mail (but in russian) by OJSC Mobile Telesystems.

Got the same thing too on my play market, I felt that there is something fishy with it, so I didn't update till I figure out what exactly it do.

Forgot to mention that I'm on stock rom, didn't root or install any custom roms, yet.
I'd advise everyone not to update and report the app to Google so they remove it from the app store.

I've seen that. I have also "testfile" app installed on my SGS2. I did not install that. Cannot uninstall, only "open" option available. Any ideas what that is?

Seeing this too. A little wary on whether or not I want to install it.
Just found this:

Looks like we're in the clear.

Even so, I can't say I'm happy about Facebook forcing me to update with what ever permissions it chooses.
I can see me uninstalling it very soon...

My coworker had the same thing, only her download froze. Couldn't tell what was going on, so we killed about every app on the phone trying to get it to stop (plus rebooting, uninstalling FB, etc). Finally figured out it was actually doing it thru Downloads, not the Play Store.
That's the straw that broke the FB camel's back for me... uninstalled the app and went back to using the mobile website. I like it better anyways.

New apps / update.

I've just received notification of new apps and update of the weather widget.
Is the patch coming too?

Had updated those the first day i saw them . Meh. At least i know they updated it !

For the weather widget, it fixes the battery drain issue when you set it to use your location. That's all. Don't know what's up with the others because I don't use them.
I find that the Sony widgets are the cause of most of the ui lag and stutters so I use only weather, music, track I'd, and tools. The weather widget causes lag, don't notice lag anywhere else apart from sweeping either side of the screen that holds that widget. I still use it though lol

You need to install the official app, login and then ovewrite the app with the modded one.

T-Mobile OTA for Stagefright

Woke up this morning to find an OTA to fix Stagefright from T-Mobile. It's still 5.0.1 and it doesn't look like it fixes all the vulnerabilities. It does up the baseband version which hopefully will fix some issues I've been having with receiving SMS messages .

Downloaded it, haven't noticed anything different yet. Lag is still mostly there.

The OTA seems to be 148MB, but the N915TUVU1BOG2 update is 1.82GB.
EDIT:
nevermind, i think the OTA is just the new files which made up BOG2.

Downloaded the update and the Stagefright detector app still says my phone is vulnerable...uh what?

YesSir ! _ same here. I wiped my phone and installed the full N915TUVU1BOG2 rom - the two Goole Playstore Apps "certif-gate scanner" and "StageFright Detector" still reports the phone is vulnerable.
So I wiped the phone again and installed the previous full rom: N915TUVU1BOD7 and after that did the T-Mobile OTA update (148MB) to BOG2 - same problem - the phone is still vulnerable.
I do not know who to believe - the apps or T-Mobile/Samsung.
Can anyone tells us techies "were to look for the vulnerablilities" - I did Google searches - but is seems like no-one really knows what to look for..... (or else I just keep missing it). I found some apk's referred to on some LG devices, but I could not find those apk's on my Samsung phones.

I used a Rooted app from some Dev on the Playstore for $1...to not only detect but to block
