Do you have an Android TV box? Is it out to get you?

[JayClay]

I know TV boxes are pretty popular in this part of the world, and for those people who have one, this video may be of interest.

 

TLDW: These devices aren't safe, they are full of security back doors which could potentially infect every device on your network.

 

nb This isn't referring to brand name devices, it's with respect to the devices you find on Ali Express or Lazada pre filled with questionable content.

i bought a cheap box on Lazada recently, i suspected it might of had spyware on it, in fact it was so rubbish i binned it after a few days, gave a bad review on Lazada, seller was desperate for me to change the review and gave me a refund even though i binned it, that box has hundreds of 5* reviews and seller buys people off

Sorry I didn't see that. I'll ask the mods to close this.
