An investigation revealed that LG TVs were conducting clandestine surveillance, recording audio even when the screen was off. The investigation discovered that the devices were scanning the local network for devices unrelated to the television.
The extracted data included IP addresses, Wi-Fi network names (SSID), wireless network signal strength, and information about users' geographic location. This information was collected and recorded covertly by the devices.
The case raises concerns about the privacy of LG device users, highlighting undisclosed data collection practices. The full extent of the information collection and the reasons for this practice were not fully clarified in the investigation.
