[Wikileaks] has just published the CIA's engineering notes for Weeping Angel Samsung TV Exploit. This dump includes information for field agents on how to exploit the Samsung's F-series TVs, turning them into remotely controlled spy microphones that can send audio back to their HQ.
An attacker needs physical access to exploit the Smart TV, because they need to insert a USB drive and press keys on the remote to update the firmware, so this isn't something that you're likely to suffer personally. The exploit works by pretending to turn off the TV when the user puts the TV into standby. In reality, it's sitting there recording all the audio it can, and then sending it back to the attacker once it comes out of 'fake off mode'.
It is still unclear if this type of vulnerability could be fully patched without a product recall, although firmware version 1118+ eliminates the USB installation method.

The hack comes along with a few bugs that most people probably wouldn't notice, but we are willing to bet that your average Hackaday reader would. For instance, a blue LED stays on during 'fake off mode' and the Samsung and SmartHub logos don't appear when you turn the TV back on. The leaked document is from 2014, though, so maybe they've 'fixed' them by now.
Samsung Tv Firmware Hack Apk
- Sep 08, 2014 Download SamyGO for free. Samsung TV Firmware Hacking. This project created for research on Samsung TV Firmware Hacking.
- There is no technical reason why the firmware can't be flashed to an older version, the TV doesn't know or care what version the firmware is, but Samsung have coded the firmware so that if the flashing firmware version is less than the current firmware version it blocks it.
- Apr 26, 2017 Worse is that the Samsung smart TV Wi-Fi Direct feature is enabled by default every time the device boots up. Researchers tested their attack on Samsung UN32J5500 Firmware version 1480, but.
Do you own a Samsung F-series TV? If you do, we wouldn't worry too much about it unless you are tailed by spies on a regular basis. Don't trust the TV repairman!
