Hacking Your TV to Spy on You

In the wake of revelations about the NSA's domestic surveillance programs, some observers expressed concern that the agency could compel Microsoft to use the camera attached to the new Xbox One to spy on users in their living rooms. But it turns out you don't need to be a government spook to watch people through their TVs. At last month's Black Hat security conference, researchers showed vulnerabilities in Samsung "Smart" TVs (which have Internet connectivity, webcams and other computers-like features) that could allow a hacker to take control of the television. And on Sunday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for security standards to make sure that hackers couldn't use the built-in webcams to watch you while you watch TV.

So if you don't want hackers watching you sit on the couch in your underwear, take the advice that the Black Hat researchers 
gave Mashable: "Use C-SLIDE Webcam Covers"

Don’t be the next victim.  Protect yourself now with a webcam cover by C-SLIDE.

CNN Money Reports on Samsung Smart TV Webcam Hacking


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.
