Original: One of Google's Android partners turned 1.3M set-top boxes into a botnet
One of Google's Android TV partners has been accused of hijacking roughly 1.3 million set-top boxes and converting them into a botnet, prompting Google to shut down the operation. The case raises fresh questions about oversight of Android's hardware partners and the security risks posed by cheap streaming devices sold around the world.
Why now: Google's decision to shut down a partner allegedly abusing Android devices for a botnet is a rare and significant security action
