WikiLeaks says Samsung smart TVs were hacked to enable spying on consumers.

So? If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.

Our Amazon remote has a voice command button to enter a
search for a tv show.

If those voice commands are monitored, monitoring our voice commands would be a dangerous job. Those monitoring our voice commands might die from severe boredom.

WikiLeaks also says the CIA was also targeting control systems used by cars and trucks. Although WikiLeaks didn’t have details on how that might be used, it said the capability might allow the CIA to “engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.”

My husband and I wonder when government will no longer let you drive old cars without this technology because of the "environment."

This is why I’m glad I still have my 30 year old RCA tv.

WikiLeaks also says the CIA was also targeting control systems used by cars and trucks.

Does anybody else remember that incident where a tampered icon of an album cover was broadcast on a FM radio station side-channel? Such images are commonly used with newer car radios and display on the audio console when the music is playing.

This image apparently contained a code sequence that subverted the CPU of the radio controller and caused various malfunctions. One of them was to lock the radio on an NPR channel at maximum volume. A "harmless prank". Yes, there was a quiet recall of the affected vehicles for a software update.

The described hack was a stupid vulnerability of an image display method which had been fixed in most Windows and Linux systems years ago. It should never have been present in a real-time control system for any part of an automobile.

It had to have taken considerable technical resources to find that vulnerability, and a wide-ranging organization to deploy the trigger. Could have been commercial rivals or a government agency. It was not a lone hacker. Probably a faction sending a threat message to another faction.

GM added that it knew of no injuries or death resulting from the hacking of a vehicle.

The hack in the last publicly disclosed incident did not affect a GM vehicle. So how would they know? And if they did, they would be very anxious to conceal such an occurrence. They would probably lie to protect themselves.

Vehicle control systems have been hacked by remote methods already. There probably are several more ways to do that which have not yet been blocked.

A hack that when triggered will race the engine, disable the brakes and power steering? Sounds like a perfect assasination tool.
