The hidden risks of cheap Android devices

This came from Kaspersky today.  Actually frightening.  I have an Android TV and did not understand why my son (also into Security but much more the hands-on type than me) was reconfiguring it the moment it came into the house.

The temptation to save money when buying expensive devices is, well, tempting — gadgets from little-known brands can offer the same spec at a fraction of the price of more popular makes, while having an Android set-top box or Android TV can cut costs on a range of subscriptions.

@dcontesti   I have to laugh, quietly, my organisations filters blocked the URL immediately, and asked me to complete several forms to justify going to the site to even view it....

You have good filters in place apparently.
