Have you ever wondered if your Smart TV can get viruses?
New technologies bring with them new ways to take advantage of our electronic devices, and today we see many televisions at home connected directly to the internet, something that perhaps we never imagined 20+ years ago, so we automatically think that they are vulnerable to common viruses of the other digital platforms that connect us with the outside world without leaving home.
Samsung, one of the best-selling brands in the United States, comments on their official website (More Info) that viruses on their televisions are NOT possible, their operating systems prevent them from reaching their devices, televisions work totally differently from a cell phone or a computer, that’s why viruses are not a concern for us. At least for now!
