If you are an Android smartphone user, you device might have infected by Gooligan Malware. The Gooligan generally targets Android devices and has reportedly attacked over many million Google accounts so far.
On a daily basis, the malware attacks over 13, 000 new Android users. Currently, the devices running on Android 4 (Jelly Bean, KitKat) and Android 5 (Lollipop) are the biggest victims of Gooligan attack.
Gooligan is injected via two different methods- apps from third-party app stores and links phising attack messages. When injected, the malware downloads a rootkit that breaches into authentication tokens and gets unauthorized access to key data from Google Play, Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, G Suite, Google Drive and other programs.
The malware automatically installs app that steals your account information and starts posting fake ratings and reviews to raise the profile of these apps.
