An investigation identified characteristics in LG smart TVs that raise privacy concerns. The televisions have functionalities that allow mapping nearby devices through sensors and connectivity.
The most worrying revelation is that these devices can capture audio even with the screen off. This secret recording capability turns the devices into potential covert listening devices, without the knowledge of users.
The detected functionalities suggest that the collected data can be used for tracking and behavior monitoring purposes. This discovery raises questions about what information is being sent to the manufacturer's servers.
More details about this investigation and other news can be found on the RECORD TV website.
