Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has disrupted the BadBox malware operation pre-loaded in over 30,000 Android IoT devices sold in the country.
The types of impacted devices include digital picture frames, media players and streamers, and potentially smartphones and tablets.
BadBox is an Android malware that comes pre-installed in an internet-connected device's firmware that is used to steal data, install additional malware, or for the threat actors to remotely gain access to the network where the device is located.
