Worth pointing out this isn't any proper Android TV devices, but rather those cheap boxes that are often basically SBCs with AOSP installed on them which are predominantly sold as easy piracy boxes.

Edit: in fact, the article doesn't currently have TV in the title

Leaving out the TV makes it less precise and more clickbaity because then it sounds like Android phones are affected.

Why not just find a different website reporting the story with a better headline? Rather than sharing the one with the headline you fear is misleading?

It's only slightly misleading and Arstechnica writes really good articles. It's pretty much the only news site I regularly browse.
