CoreJava appears to be a relative of the infamous CopyCat Android malware, which previously infected an estimated 14 million devices. “It’s important to remember that the kinds of folks who are willing to help you circumvent copyright law tend to be the same kind of folks who don’t care about other laws either — like privacy or data collection laws,” Sebastian said.
MyBroadband found the latter was also being sold on Takealot — either by its original name or in a rebranded form as one of the “MXQ Pro” devices.In addition to the possibility of exposing yourself to malware, many of the cheap boxes make false claims about their features and specifications.Coupled with outdated or invalid versions of Android, many of these boxes stutter and perform poorly.
To ensure you don’t buy an Android TV stick or box that does not underperform or comes with pre-installed backdoors for malware, you should check if it’s Google-certified.Fortunately, the range of Google-certified Android media boxes and TV sticks on the South African market has grown substantially in the past few years.

Why Gayton McKenzie thinks he’ll be SA president and six things he stands forMass deportation of illegal foreigners, death penalty, cancelling race — some of the (things) Gayton McKenzie says he will do when he becomes president. In a robust conversation on the Sunday Times Politics weekly with the Patriotic Alliance leader, McKenzie says he knows he will become SA president and laid down his objectives which “are all anti-SA constitution”, which he labelled as hypocritical. “I know I’m gonna be the president of this country and God will come back to South Africa.” McKenzie spoke on being a gang leader and how his life transformed through God.
