Amazon reportedly withdrew from the marketplace a product - namely Dragon Touch KidzPad Y88X 10 tablet - which was found to be compromised with malware. Amazon also remarked no threats were found in connection with other Y88X products. The event is even more significant because it is reported in close proximity with Black Friday and the upcoming Christmas holiday season, where more users presumably leverage e-commerce services. When acquiring technology assets, it is important to ascertain the chain of custody and validate whether there may be threats installed on the device, potentially even without the seller's knowledge.
