Researcher Says 9 in 10 Smart TVs Vulnerable to Broadcast-based Attacks

**Executive summary:** A researcher demonstrated a proof-of-concept HbbTV/DVB-T attack that can remotely force vulnerable smart TVs to load malicious web pages via rogue broadcasts; while the researcher warns many models may be vulnerable, practical constraints (TVs must be tuned to terrestrial broadcasts, exploits often need to be model-specific) and the absence of reported active exploitation reduce the immediacy of the threat.
