Internet
security
Samsung
takes
a number of
steps
to protect its Internet-compatible
Sma
rt
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
con
t
rols
to prevent the installation of unauth
orized
applications.
Although
we
take
steps
to protect
your
Smart
TV
and
personal information,
no
Internet-connected
device
or
transmission
is
completely
secure.
We
therefore
encou
r
age
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
(8 >®Settings>
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
you
r
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
se
ttings 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
disco
nnect your
home
network from the
In
ternet
when
it
is
not
in
use.
•
Use
strong
passwords
for all
your
Internet
accounts
(Netflix,
Face
book,
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
message
s
appear
on
your
TV
screen
requesting
permission
to link a
device
or
enable
a
remo
te
session,
do
NOT
accept.
•
Do
not visit
suspicious
web
sites
and
do
not install
any
suspicious
programs.
We
recommend
that
users
in
stall only
those authorized
apps
provided
by
Samsung
through
Samsung
Smar
t
Hub.
