Big Brother: HDTV Easily Hacked And Spying On Viewers
• http://govtslaves.info, Gary MersonWhile Web cameras and Internet connectivity are not new to HDTVs, their complete integration is, and it’s the always connected camera and microphones, combined with the option of third-party apps (not to mention Samsung’s own software) gives us cause for concern regarding the privacy of TV buyers and their friends and families.

Do you have speakers with your computer? Are they separate from your computer? Have you unplugged them from the power source and the computer, as well? Could they still be used as microphones for broadcasting what you say to sensitive, nearby electronic surveillance equipment, say in a van parked out on the street? Could any unplugged (or plugged-in) speaker be giving away your secrets?
