Google Files Lawsuit Against Badbox 2.0 Botnet Operators

Google has filed a lawsuit against the operators of the Badbox 2.0 botnet, which has infected over 10 million Android devices with pre-installed malware. The botnet, already the largest known for internet-connected TVs, could be used for more harmful cybercrimes like ransomware or DDoS attacks. The operators also tricked users into installing infected apps and sold access to infected devices for ad fraud.
