Gooligan check

December 1st, 2016 Mobile Security Gooligan is the latest malware attack that has breached the security of over one million Google accounts, and continues to breach an additional 13,000 devices every day. This form of malware can root an infected Android device, and steal authentication tokens that can be utilized to access data from Google Play, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Photos, G Suite, and more. This malware has the capability to root Android devices and steal email addresses, photos, documents and personal information including authentication tokens stored on the device.How Does Gooligan Work? After an infected app is installed on the Android device, whether by installing a malicious app on a third-party app store, or downloading an app from a malicious link in a phishing scam, the infected app is installed and sends data about the device to the malware campaign’s Command and Control server. A rootkit is then downloaded from the C&C server onto the device, giving the hacker full control of the device and its data remotely.Not only does this give hackers access and control, but it also allows them to steal authentication tokens. The main purpose of authentication tokens is for Google to authorize users and give them access to all Google services. Two-factor authentication is one of the security mechanisms implemented which prevents hackers from compromising accounts. However, a stolen authentication token bypasses this security mechanism and allows the hacker to access the users account since it is seen as already being logged in.Who is Affected? In the research conducted by Check Point security research teams, it was discovered that Gooligan affects Android 4 and 5 devices, which is over 74% of devices on the market. Infected devices were breached due to fake applications that were downloaded from third-party app stores or through phishing
