Smart TV Sets: Owning You Remotely Over The Airwaves
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/about-90-percent-of-smart-tvs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOJ_8QHX6OA A new attack on smart TVs allows a malicious actor to take over devices using rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -- Terrestrial) signals, get root access on the smart TV, and use the device to spy on end users. The attack, developed by Rafael Scheel, a security researcher working for Swiss cyber security consulting company Oneconsult, is unique and much more dangerous than previous smart TV hacks because the attacker can execute it from a remote location, without user interaction, and runs in the TV's background processes, meaning users won't notice when an attacker compromises their TVs. "about 90% of the TVs sold in the last years are potential victims of similar attacks, "At the center of Scheel's attack is Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV), TV transmission signal technologies like DVB-T, DVB-C, or IPTV all support HbbTV. Scheel says that anyone can set up a custom DVB-T transmitter with equipment priced between $50-$150, and start broadcasting a DVB-T signal.
