Navigation AG warns of hackers accessing information through smart televisions
Attorney General Ashley Moody
Attorney General Ashley Moody is continuing the Summer Scams Series with a warning about an emerging smart TV scam.
In this new scheme, fraudsters attempt to gain remote access to a target’s smart TV to steal personal or financial information. The Better Business Bureau warns of an increase in reports of scammers catching people off guard with fraudulent pop-ups on smart TVs. The pop-ups trick users into downloading malware, paying a fake fee or even giving away sensitive information.
