Hamburg, Germany: Many users of Android mobiles have been alarmed by a recent warning that the Gooligan malware has infected over a million devices around the world, although only about 9 per cent of the victims are located in Europe. Gooligan targets the older versions 4 and 5 of the Android operating system – and is very successful doing so. That should start the warning bells ringing. Malware like Gooligan is unfortunately not uncommon and will continue to make headlines in the future. It is an illusion to think that users are going to change their behaviour and are really able to take control of their security. That is why we need a different solution to block this and similar threats.
