As one of the commonly used home appliances, smart TV has become an indispensable member of many consumer families. Smart TV can install a variety of programs, and can also connect to the network to order a variety of programs you want to watch, which is extremely convenient. What many people don't know is that such a convenient smart TV has been quietly "pointed" by many hackers.
According to a survey data recently released by the US Consumer Reporting Organization, smart TVs installed in consumers' homes are vulnerable to hackers' intrusion and manipulation, and track their daily viewing habits without the user's awareness.
The non-profit consumer product inspection organization inspected the top five smart TVs on the market and found that a single hacker could remotely control several of them, such as adjusting the volume to maximum. Turn off your TV's Wi-Fi network, quickly change channels, or let your TV play annoying content.
It is understood that these smart TVs such as RCA, Insignia, mostly use the Roku TV platform. The test found that these smart TVs keep track of what users are watching and can feed back to the TV manufacturer or its business partners, using a technology called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR). ACR helps TV recommend TV shows you might like, but it can also be used to recommend ads to your family. These data can also be combined with your other personal information to create information about your behavioral habits and be sold to other marketers.
Smart TV will ask the user to allow them to collect the user's viewing data during the initial setup process, but will also warn them that they may not be able to enjoy some features if they refuse. Consumers who are unaware or impatient may skip settings, read or understand what they are allowed to do.
However, in response to this report, Roku also issued a statement in response. The response pointed out that Roku has always been serious and serious about the security of the platform and the privacy of users. The report of the consumer report organization is misleading and there is no security risk. The statement also mentioned that consumers can turn off remote control by means of the settings function.
Some people in the industry believe that users should develop good habits when using smart TV. Don't just install APP programs with unknown sources, and don't just browse non-formal websites, so as to avoid giving hackers a chance.
