There were an estimated 400,000 devices
that have been harvested as worker bots
in Brazil alone (some of which appear to be
poorly maintained IoT devices, and some
others are pirate IPTV boxes) which have
also been used in various DDOS attacks,
but the botnet herders can make money
selling their flock to the AI companies,
so they have.  There is nothing so
special about Brazil that another country
can not see a similar situation happen
at some point to them.
