[x] Catchy name

[ ] Catchy logo

Poor effort, only 50% of the way there. (No marks awarded for a working exploit, marketing doesn't care about that)

Edit: Marks should also be deducted for a lack of scary text claiming that everyone should panic.

Some sort of evil bee/cow hybrid with psychic (wifi) waves would work well as a logo, to help generate buzz.

I was thinking something similar. A cow with x's over the eyes, possibly glowing red; with antennae's instead of horns with wifi waves coming off them.

I think we need a vulnerability buzzword bingo.

Just to be clear, everyone really should panic. Right?

Plenty of Android devices have kernels that are too old to be vulnerable. Versions 5.1 and newer are vulnerable.
