Internet
security
Samsung
takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart
TVs
against unauthorized incursions
and
hacking.
For
example, certain sensitive communications between the
TV
and
the Internet servers
are
encrypted.
In
addition, the
TV's
operating system
has
adopted contr
ols
to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.
Although
we
take steps
to
protect your Smart
TV
and
personal information,
no
Internet-connected device or
transmission
is
completely
secure
.
We
therefore encourage
you
to take additional steps to safeguard your
TV,
secure
your Internet connection,
and
minimize the risk of unauthorized
access.
These
steps are listed below:
•
When
Samsung
releases
software updates to improve the security of your
TV,
you
should promptly install
these updates.
To
automatically
receive
these updates, turn
on
Auto
Update
in
the
TV's
menu
(Support>
Software
Update>
Auto
Update).
When
an
update is available, a popup
message
appears
on
the
TV
screen.
Accept the software download
and
update
by
selecting
YES
when prompted.
Take
steps to
secure
your wireless
router
and
network.
Your
router's manual should provide additional details about how to implement the
following
measures:
-
Secure
your wireless router's management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized
changes
to security related settings.
- Implement standard encryption
(e.g.,
WPA2
encryption)
on
your wireless router to
secure
your wireless
network
signal.
-
Secure
access
to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess
password.
- Confirm your router's firewall setting
is
enabled
(if
so
equipped).
-
Make
sure
that all your Internet-connected
devices
are behind your network's firewall.
- If your router or modem
has
a standby mode button,
use
it
to disconnect your
home
network from the
Internet
when
it
is
not
in
use.
•
Use
strong
passwords
for all your Internet accounts (Netflix,
Facebook,
etc.).
If your
TV
has
a
camera,
recess
the
camera
into the
TV's
bezel
when
it
is
not
in
use.
Recessing
the
camera
makes
it
inoperative.
• If
any
unexpected
messages
appear
on
your
TV
screen
requesting
pe
r
mission
to link a
device
or enable a remote
session,
do
NOT
accept.
•
Do
not visit
suspicious
web
sites
and
do
not install
any
suspicious programs. We recommend that users install
only those authorized
apps
provided
by
Samsung
through
Samsung
Smart
Hub.
