LG TVs may secretly eavesdrop on their owners by recording audio through the microphone and scanning home networks

Gamers Nexus published an investigation in which traffic analysis revealed that LG TVs constantly scan the local network for other devices, including phones, computers, smartwatches, and so on. At the same time, they also collect information about neighboring Wi-Fi networks.

But the most interesting thing is that the TV can record audio through the microphone even when the device is in sleep mode with the screen off. And if the internet connection is disabled, the recording is saved on the device and transmitted to a server once the connection is restored. This could affect up to 216 million LG TVs worldwide, including the LG OLED G5.
