JUN 1
Most servers have always only allowed one active MAC address per subscription, which hasn’t changed.
The authentication issue is coming from the STB emulator app which is a 3rd party app.
Its vulnerability comes from allowing users to run the same MAC address on different devices.
That vulnerability is being exploited by hackers online using randomized MAC address generators.
The only fix that will resolve the issue is to send your device ID from the STB emulator app to the server.
That prevents any other unauthorized device from using your active MAC address.
Unfortunately, that also stops your secondary devices from using your active MAC address as well.
