YES and it's more likely than most people think. Your smart TV sits on the same network as your laptop, your phone, your NAS drive, your work computer most home networks have no segmentation everything can talk to everything. A smart TV is a Linux computer running Android or Tizen. It has a browser, app runtime, Bluetooth, WiFi, and in many cases a microphone and camera. it also has a notoriously poor security update cycle. A researcher found a Samsung TV in 2026 running security patches from 2019 on a device sold new. Once a TV is compromised the attacker has a foothold inside your network: — ARP scanning to map every device on your home network — man-in-the-middle attacks on unencrypted local traffic — lateral movement to routers, NAS drives, printers, and work laptops — credential theft from saved streaming service logins stored in the TV — botnet recruitment, your TV's processing power used for DDoS attacks or cryptomining without you knowing A documented CVE: CVE-2022-44636 affected certain Samsung TVs a Bluetooth spoofing vulnerability in the smart remote that could enable microphone access when the user pressed a button. Samsung patched specific firmware versions well not all users updated. the FBI issued a public warning about smart TV security in 2019. their specific concern: TV manufacturers and bad actors could exploit built-in cameras and microphones. they recommended covering cameras with black tape. what to actually do: — create a separate IoT network on your router (most modern routers support a guest network or VLAN). put your TV on that. it cannot reach your laptop or phone. — keep TV firmware updated. manually check — auto-update is not always reliable. — disable features you don't use: Bluetooth, microphone, camera if present. — if your TV has a camera: tape it. the FBI said so.
