Google has filed a lawsuit in the United States against 25 unnamed individuals based in China, accusing them of operating the BadBox 2.0 botnet. This botnet has infected over 10 million internet-connected devices worldwide, including Android devices such as smart TVs, picture frames, tablets, and projectors. The malware spreads through no-name TV streaming devices and other connected hardware, enabling the perpetrators to steal advertising revenue from Google. The botnet is described as the largest known network of infected internet-connected TVs. The legal action aims to halt the spread of this malware and hold the operators accountable for their activities.
