1.8 million Android TV devices - botnet ddos · · 8 likes

1.8 million Android TV devices are attacking the internet right now. Without their owners knowing.  A botnet called Kimwolf has infected smart TVs, TV boxes, and set-top boxes across 222 countries.

These devices are launching DDoS attacks and running proxy services for criminals. Your streaming box could be one of them.

How big is this? One of Kimwolf's control servers became the most visited domain on earth for a short period. More traffic than Google. This is Cloudflare data.

Between November 19 and 22, the botnet issued 1.7 billion attack commands. In three days. Spraying DDoS attacks randomly across the internet. It looked like the operators were showing off. Building reputation. Proving what they can do.

The infected devices are mostly cheap Android TV boxes. They run outdated firmware, never receive security updates.

 

Affected device models:

→ TV BOX

→ SuperBOX

→ X96Q

→ MX10

→ SmartTV

→ HiDPTAndroid

→ P200

 

Countries with most infections:

→ Brazil: 14.6%

→ India: 12.7%

→ USA: 9.6%

→ Argentina: 7.2%

→ South Africa: 3.9%

→ Philippines: 3.6%

 

Kimwolf is hard to stop. The operators use multiple evasion techniques that make security researchers' jobs extremely difficult.

DNS-over-TLS hides their communication. The malware sends encrypted DNS queries to Google (8.8.8.8 ) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) on port 853. Traditional network monitoring doesn't catch it.

They also use XOR obfuscation for their server IPs. The address you see in DNS isn't real. The malware takes the last 4 bytes and XORs them with a hardcoded key to get the actual IP. Intercepting traffic shows you the wrong destination.

When researchers started taking down their infrastructure, the operators upgraded to blockchain. They now use an Ethereum Name Service domain to store their C2 addresses. Decentralized. Can't be seized by authorities. Can't be blocked by ISPs.

After researchers took over one of their domains, the hackers responded within hours: "we have 100s of servers keep trying LOL!" But they weren't bluffing. Every takedown was followed by new infrastructure within a day.

What does Kimwolf actually do with your device?

96.5% of all commands are for proxy services. Your TV box becomes part of a network that routes criminal traffic. Hackers, fraudsters, and anyone who needs to hide their real location pays to use your IP address.

The remaining 3.5% is DDoS attacks. The botnet supports 13 different attack methods across UDP, TCP, and ICMP. Estimated total capacity: around 30 Tbps. This is not theoretical. The same group already broke DDoS records this year with a 29.6 Tbps attack on gaming platforms.

The operators also installed ByteConnect SDK on infected devices. It's a "legitimate" monetization tool that sells bandwidth. With 1.8 million devices, researchers estimate they're making around $88,200 per month.

Researchers found that Kimwolf shares code and infrastructure with AISURU, another massive botnet responsible for some of the largest DDoS attacks ever recorded. Same group.Different tools.

 

Are you affected?

 

Cheap Android TV box with no updates for years? It might be compromised.

 

→ Unusually high network traffic

→ Device running hot even when idle

→ Slower internet speeds

→ Strange outbound connections in your router logs

What you can do:

→ Check your router's connected devices list for unusual activity. If your TV box is constantly sending data when you're not using it, something is wrong.

→ Avoid cheap Android TV boxes from unknown manufacturers.

→ Never install APKs from unknown sources on streaming devices.

→ If your device hasn't received updates in over a year, consider replacing it.

Millions of these devices will stay infected. They're abandoned by their makers and forgotten by their owners. Perfect for botnet operators.

Security researchers at QiAnXin XLab exposed this botnet after noticing that strange domain climbing to #1 globally. Their full technical report includes IOCs, malware hashes, and infrastructure details for anyone doing threat hunting.

Your entertainment device is someone else's weapon.

LIVE IN MAURITIUS - RESIDENCY · · 1 like

With its warmth, secure and tropical climate, Mauritius is the place to live. If you want to work, retire, invest, or just relax, Mauritius is the place to be. There are many options to choose from to live in Mauritius.




Residency by property acquisition
The non-citizen and dependents are eligible for a residence permit when he/she has acquired the property at a minimum amount of USD 375,000. The owners may rent the property, become tax resident in Mauritius and face no restriction on the repatriation of funds or revenue raised from the sale or renting of the property.
Non-citizens who have a residence permit under IRS, RES, PDS or Smart City will be exempted from an Occupation or Work permit to invest and work in Mauritius.
The residency permit is valid for as long as the non-citizen remains the owner of the residential property.


Residency by retirement
Retiring in Mauritius may be your best choice if you are aged 50 or above.
With just USD 1500 monthly or the aggregate of USD 18000 per year, you can benefit from a 10-year Residence Permit and live in a peaceful environment.
The Residence Permit further offers you the possibility to apply for a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit after 3 consecutive years.


Premium Visa
The experience of natural beauty and balanced lifestyle that could only be encountered on a rare holiday has now been made available under the Premium Travel Visa to any non-citizen who intends to stay in Mauritius for a maximum period of one year as a tourist, retiree or a professional willing to come with his/her family and carry out his business or work remotely from Mauritius.
To qualify for the Premium Visa, interested visitors should produce proof of their long stay plans and sufficient travel and health insurance for the initial period of stay while meeting the following criteria:
  • the applicants should not enter the Mauritius Labour market;
  • the main place of business and source of income and profits should be outside Mauritius;
  • documentary evidence to support application such as purpose of visit, accommodation etc.; and
  • other basic immigration requirements.
The Premium Visa is renewable.
For those staying for less than180 days, a tourist visa is granted on arrival to Mauritius.


Residency by investment
Mauritius offers a conducive business environment and a plethora of lifestyle advantages to the foreigner in quest of a stable jurisdiction to invest. Conscious of the worldwide economic and social conjuncture, important incentives pertaining to investment threshold and duration of the permit have been implemented to provide increased foresight, comfort, and convenience to the investor community.
With a minimum investment of 50,000 USD in a business activity a non-citizen will be granted a residency permit valid for 10 years.
A foreign investor who invests at least USD 375,000 in a qualifying business activity is eligible to apply for a permanent residence permit.
A foreigner who owns a business already operational in Mauritius or who has inherited an existing business, with a net asset value of 50,000 USD is eligible to apply for an Occupation Permit. This 10-year residency permit dispenses the foreigner from processes related to setting up of a company and enable focus to be directed to managing the business.


Family Occupation Permit
The Family Occupation Permit is established under section 14 of the Immigration Act 2022 and section 13(1)(b) of the Economic Development Board Act 2017. Under a Family Occupation Permit, an applicant, his/her spouse, dependent child, parent, other dependent or such other person working exclusively for the family unit may on application, become a resident of Mauritius for a period of 10 years.
The applicant and his/her spouse would be allowed to work and/or invest in Mauritius. Moreover, other persons working for the family unit may, upon approval of the Director-General of Immigration, take up employment with the applicant for the purpose of attending to the needs of the family.
To qualify the applicant will have to contribute USD 250, 000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency to the COVID-19 Projects Development Fund.


Residency for self entrepreneurs
The Self-Employed Occupation Permit is ideal for a freelancer wishing to relocate to a tropical jurisdiction with reliable telecommunication networks. Beyond the possibility to pursue an active lifestyle, it also provides the opportunity to provide professional services to both local and international clients.
With a minimum investment of 35,000 USD and An annual business income of MUR 800,000 as from 3rd year of registration the non-citizen will receive a residence permit of 10 years.


Who can accompany the resident permit holder?

Dependents are referred to as spouse (including Common Law Partner of the opposite sex), parents and children (including stepchildren or lawfully adopted children) who are unmarried and not engage in any gainful activity.


What are the taxation obligations?
You are not taxable on the funds being transferred to Mauritius. There is also absence of taxation on wealth and the absence of inheritance tax.
