Please stop buying these devices and disconnect them IMMEDIATELY

For everyone wondering why their Superbox devices have been acting strangely: https://www.securityweek.com/badbox-botnet-powered-by-1-million-android-devices-disrupted

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP BUYING AND USING THESE. DISCONNECT THESE DEVICES FROM YOUR NETWORK IMMEDIATELY.

These Superbox devices are deliberately infected with malware during manufacturing. This is NOT accidental - it’s a calculated scheme targeting unknowing consumers like yourselves. When you plug these devices into your home network, they: -Connect to command servers in China -Download additional malicious code -Create backdoor access to your entire home network -Potentially access all your personal data on connected devices -Use your device as part of a massive botnet for criminal activities (that will be traced back to you on your network and it doesnt matter if you’re innocent - these botnets are causing massive disruptions costing the government and businesses millions of dollars)

Security researchers have confirmed these come pre-infected with malware that’s embedded.

For the love of god, please do not buy these devices and disconnect them from your network now. Ask your kids or your grandkids to hook you up with the same thing offered on these outrageously overpriced generic boxes on a $20 firestick or Roku device. You dont need to pay $200-$300.

Please tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell anyone that uses these damn things.
