Google has dismantled a malware botnet affecting over 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes and cut ties with the manufacturer Videostrong. In a blog post, the company said it dismantled the XCPE backdoor that is said to have enrolled over 1.3 million set-top boxes. The tech giant added that the botnet and the backdoor were deployed “intentionally” for financial benefits by the Android Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM).
