Hackers may have infected millions of Android-based streaming boxes in 197 countries: What users can do

Hackers have reportedly infected over 1.3 million TV streaming boxes that are running on software based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) that allows developers to create custom variants of the Android OS for their own devices. Google has also said that the infected devices are not running Android TV.
According to a report by France-based cybersecurity company Doctor Web, hackers have installed a new Vo1d backdoor malware that allows them to take full control of the devices.
