Internet
security
Samsung
takes a numberof
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 controls 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
(-
>
@3
Settings>
Support> Software Update> Auto
Update).
When
aii 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
access
point
and
network.
Your
access
point's manual should provide additional details about how to
implement the following
measures:
-
Secure
your
wireless
access
point'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
acc~ss
point to
secure
your
wireless
network
signal.
-
Secure
access
to yourwireless network with a hard-to-guess
password
.
- Confirm your
access
point's firewall setting
is
enabled
(if
so
equipped).
-
Make
sure
that all your Internet-connected
devices
are
behind
your network's firewall.
- If your
access
point 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
misswords
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
permission
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.
