A malware program has been found to hijack Google accounts on Android devices. Most people are secure, but make sure you have taken all updates to Android because they contain very important security updates. According to the article below Android 4&5 users are at a higher risk of this malware.

More than 1 million Google accounts have been breached by Android malware dubbed “Gooligan,” Check Point reported Wednesday. The malware roots infected devices and steals authentication tokens that can be used to access data from various Google apps including Gmail, Google Docs, G Suite and Google Drive.
