Just found out about this — apparently some super cheap Android-based TV boxes come with pre-installed malware.

The FBI recently issued a public warning about it. The malware (called BadBox) can steal login credentials, access WiFi, and communicate with command-and-control servers.

It made me think twice about some of the random electronics I’ve ordered online in the past.

Worth checking if you’ve bought these kinds of devices recently.
