Note: This is the official status of XcodeGhost, as per Apple, and the accurate data, contrary to claims of third parties in the past few days claiming huge numbers of infected files. This official statement by Apple Inc. of the files involved in China on the Chinese Apple App Store should be considered definitive of those apps infected on Apple's store. Any other infected files may be coming from the numerous third-party app stores in China that are not curated where apps which may have also been created by XcodeGhost which were not accepted by Apple for inclusion in the Chinese Apple App Store are often offered for sale for jail-broken iPhones and may account for the higher number of reported infected apps. — Swordmaker)

Apple's official statement on XcodeGhost infection in their Chinese App Store, and it is not the 4,000 apps the third-party security companies have been claiming. . . those are most likely XcodeGhost written apps that were never in the Apple Store at all, but rather in the third-party stores for jail-broken iPhones. — PING!

Maybe I’m reading this wrong... But it says TOP 25 not all infected apps. So how many apps were impacted?

Sorry, not buying it that those app makers didn’t know to get from a real Apple site. I think they knew what they were doing and probable talked some kickback money.
