Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at NetNut, a botnet claimed by Google and the Feds to be sitting inside the homes of users of cheap Android TV boxes running malware without their knowledge.

"Hey, you can't do that! Only we're allowed to plant malware and spyware in people's homes!"

I am glad they shut it down, though.
