FBI Warning: Cheap Android TV Boxes Are Hacked | How I Lock Down My Network

The FBI just issued a warning about BADBOX malware—preloaded on millions of cheap Android TV boxes sold on Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers. If you’ve seen those too-good-to-be-true Android streaming boxes promising free live TV and unlimited apps… this video is for you.

In this video, I break down:
✅ What BADBOX malware is
✅ Why these cheap Android boxes are dangerous
✅ Red flags to watch for if you already own one
✅ Why I isolate all my IoT devices on a locked-down VLAN
✅ How I use pfSense, Suricata IDS/IPS, pfBlockerNG, and Ubiquiti gear to protect my home network
✅ And how—if you really want a streaming box—you should stick with reputable brands or build your own like I used to with XBMC/Kodi
