Bot defense software vendor Human Security last week detailed an attack that “sold off-brand mobile and Connected TV (CTV) devices on popular online retailers and resale sites … preloaded with a known malware called Triada.”
Human named the campaign to infect and distribute the Android devices BADBOX. The infected devices were sold for under $50. Human’s researchers found over 200 models with pre-installed malware, and when it went shopping for seven particular devices found that 80 percent of units were infected with BADBOX.
