Infection corrals devices running AOSP-based firmware into a botnet.
Researchers still don’t know the cause of a recently discovered malware infection affecting almost 1.3 million streaming devices running an open source version of Android in almost 200 countries.
Right, and I was trying to subtly tell you that you were wrong and that your inaccurate description borders on disinformation, as many of the rebranded white box Android TVs cost more than popular Play Certified Android TV devices, and include better hardware specs.
I mean, I just don't like the way you're fighting me about "cheap". Cheap has multiple meaning fuckface. Sure they may not be the literal least expensive box, but you really shouldn't buy junk like this for exactly the reason of this post. I was pointing out that the devices are junk. Didn't realize you'd get offended by my verbiage.
