CNN’s Laurie Segall recently did a report on the Samsung
Smart TV demonstrating how easy it is to hack the webam. Since the Smart TV really is a computer it
now has all the weaknesses of any computer.
There are software programs out there that have been specifically
designed to hack the Smart TV which Josh Yavor a Security Engineer from ISEC
Partners demonstrates. Aaron Grattofiori a Principal Security
Consultant points out that there are NO LED that turn on to let you know the
camera is on or off.
Now Josh suggested that you place tape over the camera lens
but would you do that to your video camera?
It leaves a mess behind thus making the camera useless in the future
when you need it. Simply buy a C-SLIDE
designed for all webcams.
