How Do You Protect Against It?

Check Point said it has alerted Google to the Googlian malware and that Google is "taking numerous steps including proactively notifying affected accounts, revoking affected tokens and deploying SafetyNet improvements to protect users from these apps in the future." Check Point has also released a free tool at gooligan.checkpoint.com that lets users determine if they've suffered a breach. If breached, Check Point said a clean installation of the operating system is required and recommended changing all Google account passwords after the clean installation. Check Point also recommended powering off the device until a clean installation can be performed by a certified technician.
