Sen. Schumer Calls for Smart TV Security Standards
Senator Charles Schumer (D-New York) has called for uniform safety standards for new Internet- and video-enabled televisions because he says your own TV could be spying on you, a CBS – New York article reports.
Many new Smart TVs have cameras built-in for video chat, but they have little or no security. Schumer said that these cameras could be an open invitation to hackers. The senator has contacted two-dozen TV manufacturers, urging them to institute minimum security standards on the devices.
