LG smart TVs equipped with the webOS operating system are recording users' conversations and sending this data to the company. A recently published investigation exposed critical security flaws in this operating system.
The discovered vulnerabilities allow obtaining administrator privileges, known as "root", which enables unauthorized remote access to the television system. This situation raises serious concerns about users' privacy.
The investigation reveals that LG TVs are continuously collecting sensitive information without the knowledge or explicit consent of the owners. The collected data is subsequently transmitted to the company's servers.
WebOS is the operating system used in LG smart TVs. The identified security flaws represent a significant risk for users, exposing their conversations and personal data to potential misuse.
