We have an LG TV 60UH770V (built in 2016). Thank god, it has no microphone. It runs “webOS 3.4.2-570910 (dreadlocks-digya)”. There is no physical network connection. And no LAN and WLAN credentials have ever been set up. It should in theory never have been able to reach the #Internet. It’s frightening to see what internet connected home devices can do. I own the glass! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA (2 hrs. 16 min.) #LG #LGTV #webOS #Surveillance #Privacy #PrivacyMatters #Security #DigitalSecurity

Researchers found residential proxy SDKs in 2,058 LG webOS and Samsung Tizen smart TV apps, allowing many devices to share internet connections through proxy networks. 📺 The findings raise privacy and security concerns, as internet-connected TVs can run background activity for years with little user visibility or control. 🔒 🔗 https://cyberinsider.com/50-of-lg-and-samsung-smart-tv-apps-embed-residential-proxies/ #TechNews #LG #Samsung #TV #Television #Streaming #SmartTV #Privacy #Security #webOS #Tizen #CyberSecurity #Technology #DigitalRights #FOSS #IoT
