Samsung TV Accused of Recording Audio, Screenshots for Targeted Ads
A security researcher claims his Samsung TV is recording audio and screenshots to improve targeted advertising.
A Samsung TV’s Tizen operating system can record user telemetry data, audio, and screenshots, allegedly to improve targeted advertising. The TV’s system may run slowly due to background processing of user data. The TV can even use connected devices to record audio if it doesn’t have a built-in microphone.
