You watch TV. Your TV watches back
In our latest privacy experiment, we tracked how four of the most popular TV brands record everything we watch
Ever wondered why TV sets are getting so cheap? Manufacturing efficiency plays a role. But to paraphrase James Carville, it’s the data, stupid. TVs have joined the ranks of websites, apps and credit cards in the lucrative business of harvesting and sharing your information. Americans spend an average of 3½ hours in front of a TV each day, according to eMarketer. Your TV records may not contain sensitive search queries or financial data, but that history is a window to your interests, personality, joys and embarrassments.

FBI warns about snoopy smart TVs spying on you
An FBI branch office warns smart TV users that they can be gateways for hackers to come into your home. Meanwhile, the smart TV OEMs are already spying on you
A recent #FBI #report warned #smart #TV users that #hackers can also take control of your unsecured TV. "At the low end of the risk spectrum, they can change channels, play with the volume, and show your kids inappropriate videos. In a worst-case scenario, they can turn on your bedroom TV's camera and microphone and silently #cyberstalk you," explained the FBI.
The risk isn't new. A few years ago, smart TVs from #LG, #Samsung, and #Vizio were #spying and #reporting on your viewing habits to their #manufacturers.
Today, the FBI is warning that "TV manufacturers and #app #developers may be listening and watching you." It added, "[A] television can also be a gateway for hackers to come into your home. A bad cyber actor may not be able to access your locked-down computer directly, but it is possible that your unsecured TV can give him or her an easy way in the #backdoor through your #router."
That's true, but while there have been relatively few cases of hackers invading homes via their smart TVs, it's only a matter of time until they're watching and listening to you.

Ads are taking over Samsung's Galaxy smartphones — and it needs to stop
When you buy a $2,000 smartphone, you shouldn't be the product
I have been using Samsung phones every day for almost 4 years. It was because Samsung had fantastic hardware paired with—depending on the year—good software. 2020 is the first year in a while I’m not using a Samsung phone as my daily driver. The reason? Ads.
Ads Everywhere
Ads in Samsung phones never really bothered me, at least not until the past few months. It started with the Galaxy Z Flip. A tweet from Todd Haselton of CNBC, embedded below, is what really caught my eye. Samsung had put an ad from DirectTV in the stock dialer app. This is really something I never would have expected from any smartphone company, let alone Samsung.

Revealed: Israeli Firm Provided Phone-hacking Services to Saudi Arabia
A representative of Cellebrite, which states that it has complied with the rules, flew to Riyadh from London last November, and at the request of the Saudi prosecutor’s office hacked into a Samsung cellphone
In November of last year, a representative of the Israeli firm Cellebrite landed at King Khaled International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The man, a foreign national whose identity is known to TheMarker, Haaretz’s sister publication, arrived on a commercial flight from London to hack into a phone in the possession of the Saudi Justice Ministry. The details of the visit were agreed upon before the hacker landed.
The staff at Cellebrite demanded of the Saudis that their employee be met at the Riyadh airport by a government representative. They insisted that he pass through passport control without his passport being stamped and without an inspection of the electronic equipment that he would have with him, which they demanded would not leave his possession and only which he would use.
From there, it was agreed in advance that the hacker would be immediately taken to an isolated hotel room, where the Saudis committed not to install cameras – and where the job of hacking and copying information from a mobile cellphone was carried out. When the work was completed, Cellebrite’s representative returned to the airport and flew back to London.
Cellebrite is not the only Israeli company to provide hacking or other cybersecurity services to the Saudi kingdom, but it is apparently the only one that does so without any oversight from the Israeli Defense Ministry.

Samsung TV owners complain about increasingly obtrusive ads
In the beginning, Samsung TV owners were seeing ads for new streaming content, apps or Samsung products. Owners are now complaining about larger, increasingly obtrusive, and unrelated ads.
Ads in your TV interface
Sometime in 2016 Samsung began pushing a software update to enable ads in the user interface of previously acquired Smart TVs as well as new TVs. The ads were shown above a new icon in the bottom menu.
The move upset some owners of Samsung TVs while others accepted it. Back then, the ads related mostly to new services (such as GameFly), new content from close partners (such as Google Play or Amazon Video), new movies in theaters (such as Angry Birds 2), Samsung's own services (such as TV Plus) or its own products (such as Galaxy smartphones).
Towards the end of 2019, owners have started to voice their dissatisfaction with larger, increasingly obtrusive, and unrelated ads showing up on their Samsung TVs. These include ads for canned beans or discount supermarkets such as the one embedded below or the one shared on Samsung's community boards.

*URGENT* Samsung confirmed sending massive user data to china
SAMSUNG 港行 會連大陸DNS? 114.114.114.114
- 分享自 LIHKG 討論區
https://lihkg.com/thread/2228654/page/1
The original source is Chinese, but it also affects the rest of the world so i will translate that in English. In short, samsung is constantly communicating with 114 dns, hao123, taobao and qq.com, four notorious chinese companies after oneui2.5 update
1. Samsung機自Android 9/10之後隱藏114DNS做DNS3
After android 10 oneui 2.5 update, a number of samsung phones are set to use 114 dns as dns3
2. 就算set咗其他DNS，甚至set咗Private DNS (密文DNS)，電話都會用隱藏咗嘅114DNS，繞過所有DNS設定 (包括Private DNS同router DNS設定)定期用舊式明文DNS連114DNS
114 dns has been disguised, hardcoded and can override your private dns or router dns settings
3. 每逢電話著mon就會每分鐘用114DNS明文查詢www.qq.com
Samsung will make dns query via 114dns to qq.com every minute when your screen is on
4. 另外亦會以正常途經用Private DNS同router DNS設定(視何者適用)查詢m.hao123.com，taobao.com
And it will also make query to hao123 and taobao.con via your default normal dns
6. 就算電話已連接VPN，都一樣繞過VPN流量定期用舊式明文DNS被強制連接114DNS查詢www.qq.com
It overrides your vpn
7. 另外亦發現每連一次wifi，都會連接connectivity.samsung.com.cn
It connects to connectivity.samsumg.com.CN, another malicious Chinese website
8. 韓水美水越南水貨都有類似發現
Same problem spotted not just in hong kong, but also in korea, usa, vietnam version
9呢種行為算唔算全球DDoS? 而用家又在不知情下被當攻擊者，算唔算已經成為殭屍網絡(botnet)嘅一部分?
Can this be considered a global DDos by using samsung customers as part of their botnet?
👀 Shame on your samsung, i have always been a diehard samsu

Samsung's 'iTest' Lets You Try a Galaxy Device on Your iPhone
Samsung has launched "iTest," an interactive website experience that's designed to allow iPhone users to test out Android on a Galaxy device, or "sample the other side," as Samsung puts it.
The iTest website is being advertised in New Zealand, according to a MacRumors reader who came across the feature. Visiting the iTest website on an iPhone prompts users to install a web app to the Home screen.
From there, tapping the app launches into a simulated Galaxy smartphone home screen complete with a range of apps and settings options. You can open the Galaxy Store, apply Themes, and even access the messages and phone apps.
