It's possible to hack Samsung smart TVs, if you own one. Wikileaks recently published a large number of CIA espionage files. These documents reveal a number of hackable gadgets that the CIA uses for espionage purposes, including smart TVs. "Weeping Angel," one of these hacks, has been identified. This knowledge will allow you to identify if your television has been compromised and determine if it is possible to restore its factory settings.
You can take control of large numbers of smart TVs, without physically accessing any of them
A recent data dump published by Wikileaks claims that the CIA can hack Samsung smart TVs without a user's knowledge. The data dump shows that the CIA can secretly transmit, record, and inject ads into a smart television without the user's knowledge. This breakthrough is significant and could make millions of smart-TVs more susceptible to such attacks.
Exploiting two security flaws in Web Browsers
A hacker can send malicious commands to a smart television with a new proof-of-concept attack. The rogue signal is then broadcast to other devices nearby. Two models of Samsung TVs have already been tested for the proof of concept exploit. This attack exploits two known security flaws of Web browsers. Other TV models could be targeted.
Using rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -- Terrestrial) signals
Hackers could hijack smart TVs with over-the–air video broadcasting signal and gain root acces, which allows them to spy and carry out DDoS attack. Oneconsult security researchers have created an attack that hacks into smart TVs using rogue DVB–T signal. This works with two Samsung TV models, but it is likely to work on other televisions.
Resetting factory settings on a smart TV
To reset a smart television, you can use the remote control. Navigate to main menu and then press "Exit". To confirm, hold the button for 10 seconds. This will erase all settings and return the television to its original state. The television should then be rebooted. These are the steps you need to follow. You may have to restart your television to complete the process.
Finding a camera on a smart tv
Samsung smart TVs include a hidden camera. To find it, simply run your finger along the edge. If there is a microphone or insert, you can check the camera. While smart TVs don't have cameras, they should be easy to find if you spend the time to look. If the camera is not visible, cover it with a thick piece or cardboard and retry.
