According to antivirus provider Dr.Web (link), Vo1d.3 malware has spread to unprotected android streaming devices worldwide.
It has caused about 1.3 million devices to become hacked, affecting 197 countries worldwide - Brazil, Morocco, and Pakistan.
According to Dr.Web: “In addition, it can download and run executables when commanded to do so by the C&C server. In turn, the Android.Vo1d.3 module installs and launches the Android.Vo1d.5 daemon that is encrypted and stored in its body. This module can also download and run executables. Moreover, it monitors specified directories and installs the APK files that it finds in them.”
Hackers have targeted these devices because they use outdated and unpatched versions of Android operating systems.
We strongly urge you to recycle these devices if you have one.
