Not at all worrying.

This type of mentality worries me more than anything.

I don't even care about myself, I also have nothing to hide, but having some creep recording my wife and children is not on.

Orwellian spy state where they put CCTV in people's homes under the guise of protecting them from terror (lmfao) is coming true.

Step 1: Instillation of fear.
Step 2: False sense of security.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

I don't have a Samsung TV, so I don't really care.

The CIA ~~can do one~~ are pretty amazing people.

... Leave me alone! :mad:

You've got to give them credit finding all these exploits. Shame they're done for spying purposes rather than informing the companies.

I have nothing to hide , therefore I could not care any less.

Not from the current government maybe not, but things can soon change, and these tools wont be going anywhere.

Who would own a crappy Samsung TV these days when Panasonic have always been better?

Thekwango · 7 Mar 2017 at 21:31

lucky for them the article states that they captured audio and not video. otherwise they would have had numerous videos of my knocking one out to babestation. fair play to anyone game enough to view that

Had to be installed via USB from what I could gather, cant imagine many people were affected

The fact that the KS7000 had a built in mic was one of the key reasons I decided not to buy a 4K tv earlier this year for my partner's birthday. I simply didn't like the idea of that in my home. The lack of ability to really control or upgrade the software in the TV was one of the other key factors, as well. Whilst in theory you can simply never connect it up, in practice it keeps nagging you to do so and several features don't really work right unless you agree and enter your details to the TV.

CIA are welcome to watch us watching 16 hours a day of Paw Patrol. Good luck to them.

Exactly this... seems like a much about nothing really. That'll teach you to upgrade the OS by downloading hookie ROMs from dodgy sites.
