Android hardware that skipped Google's security checks. No Play Protect certification. No legitimate Play Store access. Think of the cheap, unbranded streaming boxes sold on online marketplaces. Many run sideloaded apps, and some arrive with malware already installed. In the bid stream, they look like CTV. The impressions read as living room TV. Some of those boxes are proxy exit nodes sitting in someone's closet.
