Hackers are targeting smartphones!
The digital world that we are living today has made things very easy for outsiders to access our lives. And we probably sure that you don’t like hackers as well. Last month, Chinese people faced a serious issue with a group of Hackers called “Gooligan”, these people targeted more than a million Android phones and had access to so many users Google accounts. So experts have conducted a research and found that we might really be entering the era where an individual can access to our life and control it like their own.
Michael Shaulov,t he director of mobile security for Checkpoint in California said that These Chinese hackers “Gooligan” committed a serious disaster as they were making more than $500.000 a month. They stole all the money just by exploiting to your smartphone. He also added that “ All Professional hackers are criminals as they are financially motivated,”. “What they’re looking for is a repeatable and scalable business model.” And the story of the Chinese Hackers known as “Gooligan” is not anywhere different from the one of any other professional hacker.
You need to be aware of some fake apps, like scamming App marketer. Shaulov says agreed that the reason for most the hacks happening is the scamming marketing companies “such as Mobvista, Apsee, Startapp, and the Google-owned AdMob into paying for what looked like successful, legitimate efforts to boost the popularity of certain mobile apps”. Google also admitted that more than 1.3 million new devices might probably be affected, and 13000 new devices will still be affected every day.
Are our smartphones selling our identities to Hackers?

If you just restore the phone to factory settings, the next trip to an affected Google account will re-infect the phone.
