"In total the researchers confirmed eight devices with backdoors installed—seven TV boxes, the T95, T95Z, T95MAX, X88, Q9, X12PLUS, and MXQ Pro 5G, and a tablet J5-W. (Some of these have also been identified by other security researchers looking into the issue in recent months)."

edit this is the v4 of the title of this post. I'm not accustomed to editorializing or de-editorializing posts. I believe that the brand names involved were fairly trivial to the discussion of escalating malware cyberoperations especially if they are state sponsored. Earlier versions of the title were mischiefously incendiary. I apologize for that.

Thank you. I was not aware of that. I don't really know how to check to see if a link has been posted before. I would like to avoid reposting. 'sure would be nice if a veteran citizen of Leamington could explain it. I have re- re-titled the title in light of your comment.
