    So basically a non-issue unless you just plug the cheapest streaming box you can get your hand on into your devices.

      I didn’t say they’re the cheapest, just that the boxes I’m personally aware of with this problem are white box branded ATVs.

      But I haven’t looked through the entire list, so it’s entirely possible that some other more well-known and “respectable” device brands are also compromised. If you have an Android TV box, you should probably search the list to find out.
