LG TV Vulnerability
by Artie Kaye
A collection of vulnerabilities has been discovered by BitDefender in the LG Smart TV WebOS. Exploitation could grant an attacker access to a high-level account in the device. With said access, they could get login credentials for services saved on the TV, or access other parts of the network it is connected to. The flaws have been patched but because users can disable automatic updates on these devices indefinitely, it is recommended to manually check and update the firmware if one of these devices operates in your home or business.
To update, go to the TV’s Settings, then Support, then Software Update and check for an update.
