The Check Point cybersecurity company reveals that a vicious Android hacking scheme has given hackers access to 1.3 million Google accounts and counting. Check Point is calling the malware “Gooligan” — a mashup of Google and Hooligan. If you’re infected there’s no telling what hackers may do with sensitive Google-stored info like your photos and emails in the future. Gooligan can affect devices on Android 4 and 5 — or as Check Point says, 74% of the market. To see if your Android device is infected, go to Gooligan.CheckPoint.com. You’ll have to enter your Google email.
Check Point lists 86 fake apps — many with innocuous names like WiFi Enhancer and StopWatch — that are infected (see below). On an interesting note, in a rich-get-richer world, while its Google’s Android system that’s vulnerable, Google’s (sensible) answer to the problem is to warn users to download apps only from safe spots like its own Google Play Store. Below is a list of infected apps, as listed at Check Point:
