Google has moved to shut down a botnet that hijacked Android TV devices, according to a report by The Verge. The sarcastic framing circulating alongside the story suggests users are unnerved that ordinary smart TVs and streaming boxes could be quietly conscripted into malicious networks, renewing debate about the security of internet-connected consumer devices in the home.
Why now: The news that everyday Android TV devices were part of a botnet is raising fresh concerns about smart home security.
