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 applications.
Although we take steps to protect your SmartTV and 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 on
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 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 settings 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 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 your home network from the Internet when it is not in
use.
• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix,
Facebook, Skype, 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 users install only those authorized
apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.
