Samsung mysteriously deletes Tweet reminding customers to scan their TVs for virus

Speaking of vulnerabilities on Smart TVs, there hasn’t been any new vulnerability detected on Samsung TVs. However, back in 2017, WikiLeaks revealed that the CIA had developed a software called “Weeping Angel”. This software could turn Samsung smart TVs into a listening device. Less than a month after this, security researchers found vulnerabilities in Samsung’s smart TV OS, Tizen. Samsung released a statement about security at the time and you can read the statement in detail here. 

Smart TVs are no longer just internet-enabled TVs with the ability to stream content. They have the ability to control smart home appliances, give you access to the security cameras you have and more. If your TV is vulnerable, it's not the only device a hacker may be able to access in the connected world we live in. 

Samsung recently launched its flagship 8K QLED TV lineup in India. The 8K TVs will be available in four sizes - 65-inches, 75-inches, 82-inches and 98-inches.
