Google, working with security researchers and law enforcement partners, has taken down a large-scale botnet known as BadBox. Around 1.3 million Android TV boxes and other devices had been compromised with malware before leaving the factory, turning them into tools for fraud, ad abuse and other criminal activity. The operation highlights growing concerns over insecure low-cost smart devices shipped with backdoors already installed.
Why now: Google announced the takedown of a massive botnet embedded in consumer devices, raising alarm about supply-chain malware in everyday gadgets
