FBI warning: Your smart TV may be spying on you (ASL - 12.4.19)

Transcript

The TV you're looking at right now could be spying on you!

On Black Friday and Cyber Monday smart TVs were a big hit.

So the FBI is getting the word out that screens with advanced tech, like cameras and microphones, could be hacked by cyber criminals, who could potentially snoop or stalk you.

To protect yourself, the FBI recommends changing the default password and to update the software.

Also consider putting black tape over the camera hole or disabling the microphone.
