It looks like they can't even secure their own systems.

Sadly, there is no privacy among us.

And now "they" can spy on you through the TV. Smart TVs are just a bit too smart. Just like back in the 50s when people thought the gov't. was spying on them through the 17" B&W Zeniths.

Yes, a smart TV, smart refrigerator, smart thermostat, and any other "smart" device are things that belong in stupid people's houses. There is no reason for them to exist other than to give away your privacy. And, you can add your smart phone to that list too as they are the main device the Government is now using to monitor people.http://www.cbsnews.com/news/wikileaks-aftermath-stop-phone-tv-spying-on-you/

And then there's that Alexi, always on listening for a command, and who knows what else.

All this because we live in a nation where you cant trust a damn thing but you're immediate family.
