Security
Samsung
takes
a number of
steps
to protect
its
Internet-compatible
Smart
TVs
against
unauthorized
incu
rsi
ons
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
appl
i
cations
.
Although
we
ta~e
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
T
V,
secure
your
Internet
connection,
and
minimize
the
ri
sk
