Discoveries corroborated by the security researcher working for the NGO Electronic Frontier Foundation, Bill Budington. He was even able to make a list of the various corrupt boxes, which are as follows:

  • AllWinner T95,
  • AllWinner T95Max,
  • RockChip X12-Plus,
  • RockChip X88-Pro-10.

Together, the infected boxes form a botnet, a group of devices that have come under the control of a hacker, allowing him to subsequently carry out various fraudulent operations. These can range in general from mining cryptocurrencies to stealing data while passing by the organization of attacks by denial of service (DDoS), attacks which are more and more frequent.

And unfortunately, if you are one of the customers who have bought one of the boxes mentioned above, the best way to get rid of malware is still, according to the two experts, to simply throw it in the trash. Asked by Tedcrunch, Daniel Milisic also believes, referring here to Amazon, that merchants should pay more attention to the products sold. ” I think the only way to alleviate this problem is to require retailers to adhere to higher standards “, he thus pleaded. Will the message be received?
