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.
