Smart TV can fail for reasons specific to any electronic device, as well as software and hardware related reasons, which is the main feature that distinguishes “smart” TVs from traditional TVs. Ivan Kalinichenko, Deputy Director of Security Analysis at Digital Security, spoke about this in an interview with socialbites.ca.
“The most likely case for a smart TV to malfunction is a user-induced shutdown or power outage during the firmware update. With a high probability, this will completely spoil the TV system, and you will have to rely on the availability of special tools from the service team for your device model, ”the expert warns.
At the same time, if you crash the TV while updating applications, you should not expect any irreparable consequences.
According to Kalinichenko, the operation of a “smart” TV can also be affected by errors that occur in the operating system and applications used by the developers of this software. They often lead to the “launch” of the application or reboot of the system.
Formerly Bug Expert saidthat scammers can use the TV for surveillance.
