Chromecasts Under Attack From Hackers to promote PewDiePie

Hackers have teamed up with Felix PewDiePie Kjellberg and forcing TVs to display a message asking people to subscribe to his YouTube channel. Hackers use the router setting that makes smart devices, like Chromecasts and Google Homes, publicly viewable on the internet. The attackers then take control of the devices and broadcast videos on a connected TV. More than 5,500 exposed smart TVs, and devices have been hijacked to promote YouTuber PewDiePie. Google said that Chromecast owners can change their router settings, and it will fix the issue.”]
