The attack campaign, named Gooligan, breached the security of over one million Google accounts. The number continues to rise at an additional 13,000 breached devices each day. Our research exposes how the malware roots infected devices and steals authentication tokens that can be used to access data from Google Play, Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, G Suite, Google Drive, and more.

BitWhisper , as researchers Mordechai Guri and Professor Yuval Elovici of Ben-Gurion University's Cyber Security Research Center have dubbed their program, targets air-gapped machines—computers that are not physically (or wirelessly) connected to the Internet. By using malware that can tap into computers' cooling systems and temperature sensors, the hack can send information back and forth between two adjacent machines. For example, raising the temperature of one computer by a single degree...
