Japan police detect malware in Chinese-made Android TV devices

TOKYO: Japan’s National Police Agency (NPA) said Wednesday that, in cooperation with Google LLC, it had detected malware in Android TV devices produced by a Chinese manufacturer and sold by mass retailers worldwide and online.

According to the NPA, the Chinese manufacturer received orders to produce the devices but embedded the malware in them without the authorisation of its clients. Once connected to a household network, the malware automatically accesses an external server and installs an app on the devices to steal information needed for hacking, such as IP addresses. This stolen information has been sold to hackers and used in cyberattacks.

东京：日本国家警察厅（NPA）周三表示，他们与谷歌公司合作，在一家中国制造商生产的、通过全球大型零售商和在线渠道销售的安卓电视设备中检测到了恶意软件。

据NPA称，这家中国制造商接到订单生产这些设备，但未经客户授权，擅自在设备中植入恶意软件。一旦连接到家庭网络，该恶意软件就会自动访问外部服务器，并在设备上安装应用程序，窃取黑客攻击所需的信息，例如IP地址。这些被盗信息已被出售给黑客，用于网络攻击。
