The cable connects the TV and Computer and most new ones have little cameras in them so do not you think a hacker(s) could be watching you?
OK -What to do about the camera in the TV?
Answer
The answer, according to research, not so comforting. Devices that can spy, eye opening.
http://rt.com/usa/smart-tv-security-access-092/ ''Viewers, beware: while youâre watching TV, your TV might be watching you back.A security firm discovered that Samsungâs Smart TV can give hackers access to the deviceâs built-in camera and microphones, allowing them to watch everything you do.The Malta-based firm ReVuln posted a video showing its team of researchers hacking into one of the Samsung TVs and accessing its settings, channel lists, widgets, USB drives, and remote control configurations.The security flaw allows hackers to access any and all personal data stored on the TV. âWe can install malicious software to gain complete root access to the TV,â the video writes. With this access, hackers can use the Smart TVs built-in camera and microphones to see and hear everything in front of it. Instead of just watching TV, viewers could themselves be watched without knowing it. But this flaw isnât present in just one specific model.The vulnerability affects all 11 Samsung televisions of the latest generation.The Smart TVs have many of the same features as a computer, but lack the same kind of protection.The devices do not have security features such as firewalls and antivirus software. Fortunately for concerned viewers, the problem has a silver lining: hackers must first breach the network that the television is connected to, as well as know the IP address of the device.As a result, security breaches would likely only occur as a targeted attack against an individual, rather than randomly. Unlike an Internet virus, a hacker would have to exploit the network manually.''
