Threat Score
Bitdefender's 2026 IoT Security Landscape Report shows smart TVs and smart plugs account for a large share of observed device vulnerabilities across ~10.4 million protected home routers; automated port scans (4.85 billion) and brute-force attempts dominate detected attack activity, and some free TV apps can turn devices into residential proxies and collect viewing/voice/location data, creating privacy, proxy-abuse and lateral-movement risks for home networks.
