Re: Social Attacks

Gooligan spreads when victims download and install an infected app. Crooks are slinging the malware by tricking victims into following malicious links in phishing messages.

What's amazing is that 13000 people per day are falling for this kind of phishing scam.. Are there really that many people installing apps on a daily basis and falling for a "Click on this to win a million or whatever". Those figures seems incredibly high... ( Yes, I know that there are a lot of stupid people but honestly 13000 per day is a hell of a lot)
