CISO who helped unmask Badbox warns: Version 3 is coming www.theregister.com/2025/06/1…

Badbox 2.0, the botnet that infected millions of smart TV boxes and connected devices before private security researchers and law enforcement partially disrupted its infrastructure, is readying for a third round of fraud and digital attacks, according to one of the threat hunters who uncovered the original scheme.

“We continue to try and shut them off wherever we can — that hasn’t stopped,” Human Security CISO Gavin Reid told The Register, referring to his team’s ongoing collaboration with the FBI, Google, and others to disrupt the botnet.
