This presentation will talk about what we’ve found and figured out on the platform. You can picture that Smart TV has almost all attack vectors that PC and Smart Phone have. Also, Smart TV has its own attack vectors such as remote controller. We’ll talk about attack points of Smart TV platform and discover security bugs we found. Moreover, what attackers can do on a hacked Smart TV.
