If you have a Samsung smart TV, you might be wondering if it's possible to hack it. Wikileaks recently published a large number of CIA espionage files. These documents reveal a number of hackable gadgets that the CIA uses for espionage purposes, including smart TVs. "Weeping Angel" is one such hack. This information can be used to verify if your TV has been hacked or if you are able to restore factory settings.
You can control a wide range of smart TVs from anywhere without physical access
Wikileaks published a recent data dump that claims the CIA could hack Samsung smart TVs. The data dump suggests that the CIA can secretly transmit audio, record audio, and even inject ads into a smart TV without the user knowing about it. This is a huge breakthrough and could leave millions of smart televisions open to attacks.
Exploiting two known security flaws in Web browsers
A new proof of concept attack enables a hacker to send malicious commands to a smart TV. The rogue signal is then broadcast to other devices nearby. Two models of Samsung TVs have already been tested for the proof of concept exploit. This attack exploits two security flaws in Web browsers. It could also be used against other models of Samsung TVs.
Using rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -- Terrestrial) signals
Hackers can hijack smart TVs using over-the-air digital video broadcasting signals and gain root access, allowing them to spy on users, perform DDoS attacks, and more. Security researchers from Oneconsult have developed an attack that uses rogue DVB-T signals to hack into smart TVs. This method is effective against two Samsung TV models. However, it could work on a wider range of TVs.
Resetting a smart television to factory settings
To reset a smart television, you can use the remote control. Navigate to the main menu and press the "Exit" button. To confirm, hold the button down for approximately 10 seconds. This will erase all settings and return the television to its original state. You can then reboot your television to get it back up and running. Follow these steps to do this. To complete the process, you might need to turn off the TV.
How to find a camera for a smart TV
Samsung smart TVs include a hidden camera. To find it, simply run your finger along the edge. If your camera has an insert or microphone you can check its functionality. Smart TVs may not have a camera, but you should be able to spot one if you take the time to look for it. You can try again if you are unable to find the camera.

Disconnecting the battery connector cable is a good idea. This will ensure that your drone does not receive any current. You can remove the battery connector from the drone by pulling it out.
-
Unscrew and remove the battery pack. Unscrew your quadcopter's battery pack. The battery pack usually comes apart into two pieces.
-
Locate and replace the battery contacts. Look for the contacts after you've removed your battery pack. These tiny metal pins connect to the battery and other components of the drone.
-
Install the new battery. Next, insert the new battery into your drone. Align the connectors for the battery pack on each side. Next, place the battery pack on the drone. Once the battery is in place, tighten all bolts.
-
Attach the battery connector cable. After installing the new battery pack, reconnect the battery connector cable to the drone.
