Key findings

  • The campaign infects 13,000 devices each day and is the first to root over a million devices.
  • Hundreds of email addresses are associated with enterprise accounts worldwide.
  • Gooligan targets devices on Android 4 (Jelly Bean, KitKat) and 5 (Lollipop), which represent nearly 74% of Android devices in use today.

  • Every day Gooligan installs at least 30,000 apps on breached devices, or over 2 million apps since the campaign began.
