LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices
Summary
Notebookcheck reports that LG smart TVs log microphone audio even when the screen is off and sweep the local network to map nearby devices, with data uploaded when reconnected to the internet. The investigation also references ACR data collection and a reported remote code execution vulnerability in webOS, and recommends disconnecting the TV from the internet until mitigations are applied.
