Here’s how to use the CIA’s ‘weeping angel’ smart TV hack

Far from the blanket "Smart TV is spying on you" statement.

I'd say there is a far greater risk with the plethora of Echos and Google Home devices out there, but no one is complaining about them.

Absolutely there is proof. Google Weeping Angel and CIA. Or go to The Verge and look. Swing a dead cat and hit a dozen links. Some claim it may not have been deployed, others believe it was.

Thank, or blame, Wikileaks.

Do these cameras have a red recording light ?

If someone wants to watch me swill beer and gobble Cheetos I'm good with that.

There were some TVs sold with cameras in them. Not sure any are sold that way today. I’d think that would be a negative.

On edit: From 2012/13 Samsung 8000 and 9000 series, 4 models in each. LG 55LA8600 and 60LA8600. Samsung UN65JS9500.

Useful for Skype. I can see that.

Look into “Weeping Angel.”

Weeping Angel, if actually used, would not be Samsung or Visio spying on you but would be a third party. in my book that isn't you TV spying on you but instead a hacker.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

TVs don’t snoop on people, people snoop on people.

No Pit comments, please.
