Just curious, got backdoor for what? All people do is watch Netflix, HBO, etc. It's just viewing habits.

If your network is relatively secured and prevents lateral network (communication within same network eg pc to pc, in this case tvbox to pc) you are relatively safe except for when threat actor decides to use your tvbox to DDoS, and your IP will get flagged. This is best case scenario.

If your network allows for unsecured lateral network communication, the tvbox will try to hack into other connected devices.

So for TV box, if I uses a different Google account, then technically it should be safe, right?

You know how you shouldn't download apk and apps from untrusted sources? Same logic.

All they need is access to your device, and then to your network and then to your other devices in the same network.

realme tvstick ok or not

xiaomi ok or not

mecool i dunno.

realme tv stick uses Google TV OS, different a bit than AndroidTV OS.

xiaomi mi box s, use Android TV OS, but with usb port you can playback external hard disk media.

certain app like AppleTV+ cannot work on realme tv stick, but works on mi box S OS.

this is known issue all along
ur using android box that pirates tv shows and movies from god knows where and you're not at all skeptical that it is collecting data on you?
those that input their google play login or wav login to the android box really topkek
maybe that's how you kena hacked and get CC details leaked
if you all would take a step back and reevaluate things, you'd realize that you are too dumb to fact check every single product you buy that have certain claims
i.e. sunscreen 60spf - how would you know its 60spf? you can check at home? how often or were it tested by independent tester? you dont know and you wont know
another example, this food that you buy, you read the nutrition value, how can you confirm its so and so amount of calorie / sugar? you can test? does the gov actually enforce the testing and is it accurate?
electronic tech is the most geng. they can claim everything but since you dont know coding and its not open source, you cant be sure its doing what it said its doing without doing anything else

Is there way we can prevent a particular android powered device from accessing other devices in the network?

The TV BOX is connected to your home network which means it has already gain access to your internal network.

You could actually use VLAN to isolate the network but 99.99% of consumers will not have the technical and skills/knowledge to do this.

how does it work? any details?
