    The Gooligan malware attack targeting Android devices has infected more than a million Google accounts and growing by 13,000 new users a day. It affects devices running Android 4 (Jelly Bean, KitKat) and Android 5 (Lollipop), according to Check Point.

    Gooligan spreads via apps from third-party app stores and malicious links in phishing attack messages.

    Marshmellow is version 6 and Nougat is version 7 (newest), maybe Google put it out themselves to get people to update or buy newer devices LOL.

    Don't blame just google, my wife's phone through verizon is stuck a 4.2.2 a version of jelly bean, vz doesn't feel the need to push any higher versions. I have to check if I can force one but vz doesn't like it when you try that.
