This just reeks of bullshit. It doesn't offer any description on the name of the exploit, a synopsis, or anything. The article provides no information as to check to see if your system is infected and says that it can survive a factory reset, which doesn't seem likely.

A factory reset basically dumps the /data partition and rebuilds it from the /system partition. If a bad app were to put itself in the /system partition, then a factory reset wouldn't get rid of it, only a complete ROM reinstall would, since that overwrites every partition the phone uses.

I think what you are describing is a system restore, which is categorically different.
