Google, Partners Disrupts 1.3 Million-Device-Strong XCPE Botnet
Google and partners disrupted a botnet spanning 1.3 million devices, primarily set-top boxes and Internet of Things (IoT) devices infected with a backdoor. The company alleges that Android device manufacturer Videostrong operated the network, which was used to support criminal activity.
Why it matters: Set-top box and IoT device users face compromise and potential use of their hardware for downstream attacks; security teams should investigate whether affected devices are present in their environments and patch or isolate them.
