XLab's recent report indicates that the new version of the Vo1d botnet continues its operations on a larger scale, not deterred by the previous exposure.



A new variant of the Vo1d malware botnet has grown to 1,590,299 infected Android TV devices across 226 countries, recruiting devices as part of anonymous proxy server networks.

This is according to an investigation by Xlab, which has been tracking the new campaign since last November, reporting that the botnet peaked on January 14, 2025, and currently has 800,000 active bots.

In September 2024, Dr. Web antivirus researchers found 1.3 million devices across 200 countries compromised by Vo1d malware via an unknown infection vector.
