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 controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applicati
ons.
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
wi
r
eless
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 settiogs.
- 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
you
r
home
network from the
Internet
when
it
is
not in
use
.
•
Use
strong
passwords
for all your Internet accounts (Netflix,
Face
book,
etc.).lf your
TV
has
a
camera,
r
ecess
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
