Antivirus firm Dr.Web has flagged a type of Android malware known as Android.Vo1d that has infected about 1.3 million TV boxes across 197 countries.
The malware effectively enables a backdoor into the TV box's system that allows an attacker to download and install malicious third-party software. The R4 TV box model running Android 7.1.2, a TV Box running Android 12.1, and the KJ-SMART4KVIP TV box running Android 10.1 were the types of devices reportedly impacted.
