"The FBI listed some indicators of compromise (IoCs) in the PSA for consumers to tell if they were impacted. But the average person isn’t running network detection infrastructure in their homes, and cannot hope to understand what IoCs can be used to determine if their devices generate “unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.” Here, we will attempt to help give more comprehensive background information about these IoCs. If you find any of these on devices you own, then we encourage you to follow through by contacting the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

The FBI lists these IoC:

• The presence of suspicious marketplaces where apps are downloaded.

• Requiring Google Play Protect settings to be disabled.

• Generic TV streaming devices advertised as unlocked or capable of accessing free content.

• IoT devices advertised from unrecognizable brands.

• Android devices that are not Play Protect certified.

• Unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.

The following adds context to above, as well as some added IoCs we have seen from our research."
