Disclosed the danger of “smart” TVs December 05, 2019 | 11:06 / Interesting information

Modern TVs have received many convenient features such as access to many entertainment services from one place or the ability to control a "smart home". However, along with modern features, new problems appear.

As the experts of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation found out, “smart” TVs can be a real headache for their owners along with other devices with access to the Internet. Now more and more televisions are getting a built-in camera and microphone for voice control and video chats. Also, these components are used for user recognition in order to adjust the recommended content depending on who is now in front of the screen.

According to hi-tech.mail.ru, Smart TV is a potential target for intruders who can gain remote access to the device. Similar cases have already been recorded, but due to the small spread of smart TVs, the problem has not yet become widespread.

Therefore, owners of advanced TVs are advised to carefully consider privacy policies, which users usually read inattentively, essentially leaving their data in sight. Thus, home TVs began to turn into the same bait for hackers and scammers, like ordinary smartphones and computers.
