Do you have an Android phone – are you at risk of the Gooligan hack?

Dear Android phone user, hopefully you have played it safe and keep your phone up to date with updates, and installed apps from the curated Google App Store – “Play Store” – which should mean that you are pretty safe installing those apps (although occasionally some malicious apps can sneak through and it can be a good idea to have  a 2nd line of defence on your phone); in which case you may be safe from the Gooligan hack; if you have installed apps from a 3rd party app store or might have been a victim of a phishing attack via email; you may want to read the following article in greater depth.
