Gooligan Ransacks More Than 1M Android Accounts
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. It potentially affects devices running Android 4
and 5.

Reddit Has Had It With Trolls
Reddit has announced reforms designed to crack down on trolls and punish
its most abusive community members. Reddit has identified hundreds of
the most "toxic users," said CEO Steve Huffman, who founded the site 11
years ago while in college, and it has devised a plan to take action
against them. Consequence for unacceptable behavior could range from
warnings to timeouts to permanent bans.

Gadget Ogling: Smarter Slumber and Pod-Free Coffee
In a previous column, I revealed how terrible a sleeper I am. My
mattress is old, and there's a sizable dent on my side of the bed. It's
probably time to find a new mattress, so perhaps it's time to consider
one that connects with the rest of my home. Eight's smart mattress gives
you a little more incentive to get out of bed, as you can set up a
string of IFTTT recipes to improve your morning routine.

Docker, Canonical Team on Enterprise Support
Docker and Canonical on Wednesday announced a commercial agreement to
integrate support for Docker Engine. The partnership gives Canonical
customers a single path for support of the Ubuntu operating system and
CS Docker Engine in enterprise Docker operations. It provides a
streamlined operations and support experience for joint customers by
splitting the service obligations in four ways.

Here's Looking at You, Alexa
Amazon is developing a premium version of its Alexa-powered Echo
speaker, which will have a 7-inch touchscreen, in a bid to stave off
competition from Google and other companies developing rival offerings,
Bloomberg reported Tuesday. Designed for use in the kitchen, the new
device would have an upward-tilting touchscreen that would permit a user
to swipe controls from a standing position.

It's All Aboard for Linux Gamers at The Final Station
The developers of The Final Station , recognizing the growing market for
the post-apocalyptic train ride in the open source community, have made
their hot-selling title available for the Linux OS. The indie game,
which Do My Best Games and TinyBuild launched for PC, Mac, Xbox One and
PlayStation 4 this summer, became available for Linux last week.
