And we probably sure that you don&#8217;t like hackers as well. Last month, Chinese people faced a serious issue with a group of Hackers called &#8220;Gooligan&#8221;, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Shaulov,t he director of mobile security for Checkpoint in California said that These Chinese hackers &#8220;Gooligan&#8221; 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 \u201c All Professional hackers are criminals as they are financially motivated,\u201d. \u201cWhat they\u2019re looking for is a repeatable and scalable business model.\u201d And the story of the Chinese Hackers known as &#8220;Gooligan&#8221; is not anywhere different from the one of any other professional hacker.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/computer-e1482728339268.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/computer-e1482728339268.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"446\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35650 size-full sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Hackers\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;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&#8221;. 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.<\/p>\n<h4>Are our smartphones selling our identities to Hackers?<\/h4>\n<p>If you are a victim and want to stay out of this issue, you got to reflash your affected phone. If you just restore the phone to factory settings, the next trip to an affected Google account will re-infect the phone. Do you think people must stop downloading paid Apps for free for not being a victim, let us know.<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, it is very easy for hackers to access\u00a0your phone, they know the technics and all the procedure to hold on your account.
