15. A couple years ago I was home alone, husband traveling out of state. I put on the news on the Samsung Smart TV in the living room, set the remote on the coffee table and went into the kitchen next room over to make dinner. After a few minutes I noticed I don’t hear the sound of the news anymore, and I thought maybe the signal went out or the tv timed out and shut itself off.
I come back into the living room and the TV screen is showing a picture of a couch in a living room… my living room. Takes me a minute to realize the camera in my tv has been activated and it’s showing a live video of the room.
The remotes were still on the table so no chance the dog accidentally stepped on them and pushed buttons or anything.
A few days later news broke that Samsung smart TVs had a hacking issue.
Guess the real mystery is how often I was spied on before i put tape over the camera…
