Hot Take:

Badbox is back, and it’s like a bad sequel nobody asked for. Think “Botnet Fast and Furious,” but instead of Vin Diesel, we’ve got cybercriminals revving up their engines for another round of digital mayhem. Get ready for more pop-ups than a 90s internet browser and more backdoors than a speakeasy in the Prohibition era.

Key Points:

  • Badbox 2.0 botnet is causing chaos again, infecting millions of Android devices.
  • The botnet targets cheap gadgets with minimal support, mainly from China.
  • Despite past disruptions, the botnet continues to expand its residential proxy services.
  • Cybercriminals are using legitimate IP addresses for nefarious activities.
  • Version 3 of Badbox is already looming like the next season of a bad reality show.
