  1. Developer Exploits eMudhra Leak to Block Smart TV Ads

    A clever developer, Daniel Vrátil, took advantage of a massive security blunder at Indian certificate authority eMudhra to block ads on his smart TV, dodging an update that would have revoked the exploited certificate. His quick thinking was made possible by eMudhra's shockingly weak private keys, including one that was simply the number four.

  6. Microsoft ha deciso di chiudere Copilot sulle smart TV: il supporto termina su tutte le TV, LG e Samsung comprese, entro la fine del 2026. L'avviso è apparso direttamente sui televisori LG: la funzione non è più disponibile e smetterà di funzionare a breve. Copilot era arrivato sui televisori al CES 2025, meno di due anni fa. Restano invece gli assistenti rivali: Siri AI su Apple TV, Gemini su Google TV e Alexa+ su Fire TV. #AI #Microsoft #SmartTV

  7. Inspired by the recent Smart TV spyware discoveries, this project aims to make it as simple as possible to get rid of all those spying parts.

  8. I haven't followed any of the insider news beyond the flimsy denial put out recently by #LG about their obnoxious #SpyTVs fiasco, but I have a sense that major #retailer sentiment might be ultra sour.

    A trip to a larger regional #BigBox chain today led me straight to a center-aisle blowout on large #SmartTV sets from the brand, with major discounts on previous years' models of every size.

    More telling... standing next to them were the freshly wrapped latest models, getting ready to ship out.

  10. Your smart TV may be collecting more data about your viewing habits than you realise.

    A class-action lawsuit against Sony alleges that its Smart TVs use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to identify what people watch and build viewing profiles for advertising purposes.

    The plaintiffs also raise concerns about data sharing with third parties such as Samba TV, and information transmitted to Google by Sony TVs running Google TV.

    On November 2, 2026, a US federal judge rejected Sony's attempt to force the case into private arbitration, allowing two privacy claims to proceed.

    The allegations have yet to be proven in court.

    Privacy concerns don't stop at smartphones. Smart TVs can also reveal a lot about our everyday lives.

    Do you know how much your smart TV knows about you?

  11. Keine Android Streamingadapter aus China!

    Die Warnung muss noch ausgeweitet werden auf Smart-TV und überhaupt alle "smarten" Geräte mit Android aus Fernost. Diese Geräte sind unsicher und/oder ab Werk gerne mal mit Malware trojanisiert. Darüber habe ich schon oft berichtet; unten habe ich einige einschlägige Meldungen aufgelistet. Aktuell ist ein chinesischer Hersteller aufgefallen, der seine Geräte ab Werk mit einer Hintertür liefert. Den Hersteller Videostrong Technology wird hierzulande niemand kennen. Die Firma verkauft ihre Adapter unter dem Markennamen MECOOL und produziert als OEM für viele andere Marken. Die Liste der Modellbezeichnungen ... Weiterlesen:

    This worked shockingly well. I got an TCL tv for about $150 a few years ago, but we hardly use it since it lags so much and takes forever to do anything.

    Sometimes you get a show playing, then it will lockup mid-show for a few seconds.

    This took about 15-20 minutes and wiped out so much unnecessary stuff that the TV runs smoothly now. I did not test playing any videos, but I have high hopes for it.

    Menus vary by model. Putting the TV on a separate guest or IoT network and adding DNS filtering on the router block more of the traffic.

  27. 🚨 YOUR SAMSUNG TV KNOWS MORE ABOUT YOUR WATCHING HABITS THAN YOU THINK.

    You bought a TV to watch Netflix. Not to feed an advertising profile.

    Samsung’s Tizen Smart TV platform raises some uncomfortable privacy questions:

    📺 Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) can identify what you're watching, including content from HDMI-connected devices.

    🎙️ Audio classification can identify environmental sounds, raising questions about how that data is used.

    📊 Persistent advertising IDs can help connect viewing behaviour to targeted advertising.

    And the technical rabbit hole goes deeper: firmware analysis, on-device processing, telemetry services and the difference between what a TV can detect and what it actually sends to the cloud.

    Is your smart TV just watching content, or helping advertisers understand your household?

    We break down the Tizen telemetry architecture, the tracking mechanisms, the technical evidence and the privacy controls that actually matter.
