Description
Cyber criminals are exploiting illegal streaming devices, known as dodgy boxes, to steal personal data from connected household gadgets. This threat, tied to the BadBox two point zero malware scheme, has already affected millions of devices worldwide, including those in Ireland. Experts warn that any internet-connected device can be vulnerable, turning small-time hacks into big industrial operations. Authorities are working together to track these networks and disrupt their tools. To stay safe, stick to trusted sellers, turn on Google Play Protect, skip unofficial streaming apps, and keep your firmware and software updated.
