Why does this headline say “AND Apple”?
Because there are some iOS apps implicated, I assume. It’s definitely misleading, if you buy one of the tv boxes they talk about in the article you are almost certainly getting malware, if you buy an appletv even used, the chance it has malware that would survive a clean reinstall is minuscule.
Honestly, it’s an easy way to get upvotes with this community. A lot of people will upvote it without reading it, much less thinking critically about it for half a second.
