Google-certified Android TV boxes shipped with preinstalled malware

Original: Des Android TV boxes certifiées Google contiennent du malware préinstallé. Le point intéressant : la certification ne co

Android TV boxes carrying Google certification have been found to include preinstalled malware, raising questions about the scope of the certification programme. The certification apparently does not cover the complete firmware across the supply chain, meaning a device can be officially certified while malicious code is present before it even boots for the first time.

Why now: The finding challenges trust in Google's certification programme and highlights supply-chain security risks in cheap Android TV hardware.
