Researcher discovers Samsung TV's Tizen OS recording audio and screenshots for ad targeting
Reverse engineer log4j reveals AI-driven data collection, raising privacy concerns
A cybersecurity researcher known as log4j has uncovered what they describe as 'privacy horror' in Samsung's Tizen operating system, finding that the TV's software uses an AI-powered neural network to record audio, capture screenshots, and collect detailed user telemetry for targeted advertising. The discovery, detailed in a series of posts on X, has prompted one engineer to test the microphone behavior, while log4j says they are preparing a full write-up.
