## Resource

When threat researcher D3ada55 noticed her dad's TV streaming box was sending alarming amounts of traffic to China, she locked it in a room with a few Raspberry Pis and studied it. What she found shook her to the core. The pirated TV device was not only sniffing everything on her home network, but attempting to impersonate those devices as well. And when she dug deeper into who made these "SuperBoxes," she uncovered an insidious global threat that preys on Americans' deep obsession with get-rich-quick schemes, and may even be the Trojan horse that takes down the U.S. government someday.
