Scam Alert: Can Smart TVs be hacked? Be alert if you notice these signs...

Just like laptops and mobile phones, your Smart TV can also be easily hacked. You might be wondering how? Your LED TV is always connected to the internet, which is why it's also vulnerable to hacking. Behind the large screen of your TV is a system that works like a computer. The TV uses a camera, Bluetooth, and a microphone, so today we're going to tell you about some signs that should alert you if you notice them.

Signs
If your Smart LED TV suddenly starts slowing down, crashes unexpectedly, or if unfamiliar pop-ups appear on the screen, understand that something is wrong, because malware might be trying to infiltrate your TV.

Unknown Apps
If you see unfamiliar apps on your TV that you haven't downloaded, you should be cautious because this could be due to malware. Not only apps, but if strange names start appearing on the home screen or app icons change, understand that there is something wrong with your TV.

Impact on Performance and Frequent Crashes
While it's true that TVs can slow down over time, if your TV starts crashing, slowing down, or turning on and off repeatedly, even with sufficient storage and the latest software, understand that some malware is active in your TV. This malware prevents the TV system from working properly, making navigation difficult.

Smart TV Tips: What to do to stay secure?
Download and install apps only from the official app store.
Disable the "Install from Unknown Sources" option in the settings.
Scan your TV using an antivirus app.
Perform a factory reset of your TV to remove malware.
