Samsung smartTV hacking vulnerability revealed

Researchers claimed that Samsung smartTVs can be hacked as they have an OS installed which is similar to a smartphone.

WASHINGTON: Just like smartphones, smartTVs can be hacked and compromised, it has been revealed.

Researchers at a demonstration on Friday in Las Vegas claimed that Samsung smartTVs can be hacked as they have an operating system installed which is similar to a smartphone, which hosts third-party apps, CBS News reported.

People can browse the internet, launch apps and take photos using their remote controls on smartTVs.

The researchers told the publication that the more dynamic a website is, the more opportunities there are for inserting code and the problem is not with the apps but with the way they were designed for Samsung's smartTV.

The researchers said that a hacker could potentially take control of the TV's camera and remain undetected.

Talking about the potential hackers, they said that there's no physical indicator, nor visual indicator, that can let you know your camera was on or taking pictures of you.
