A report from Xlab indicates that the Vo1d botnet has now infected over 1.5 million Android TV devices across 226 countries, with peak infections recorded at 800,000 active bots. This malicious software uses advanced encryption and a sophisticated command and control system to operate anonymously, particularly impacting Brazil the most. Researchers suspect the botnet's operators are renting their infrastructure to other criminal groups, causing fluctuations in infection rates as devices are temporarily diverted for different attacks. The findings illustrate a significant and ongoing threat in the cybersecurity landscape.
