Android devices with backdoored firmware have been discovered in US schools, posing a significant cybersecurity threat. The devices, including smartphones, CTV boxes, and tablets, have been infected with the Triada malware through supply chain compromise. The malware allows threat actors to carry out various ad-fraud schemes and create hidden WebViews. The devices cannot be cleaned by end-users, as the backdoor is embedded in the firmware. It is recommended to choose familiar brands when purchasing new products. #Android #Backdoor #Firmware #Cybersecurity #TriadaMalware.
