Internet security
Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized
incursions 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 applications.
Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and personal information, no Internet-connected
device or transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage you to take additional steps to
safeguard your TV, secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
These steps are listed below:
• When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security of your TV, you should
promptly install these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on Auto Update
in the TV's menu (Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available,
a popup message appears on the TV screen. Accept the software download and update by
selecting YES when prompted. Take steps to secure your wireless router and network. Your
router's manual should provide additional details about how to implement the following
measures:
‒ Secure your wireless router's management settings with a unique password to prevent
unauthorized changes to security related settings.
‒ Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless router to secure
your wireless network signal.
‒ Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password.
‒ Confirm your router's firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).
‒ Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are behind your network's firewall.
‒ If your router or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home
network from the Internet when it is not in use.
• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, etc.). If your TV has
a camera, recess the camera into the TV's bezel when it is not in use. Recessing the camera
makes it inoperative.
• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device
or enable a remote session, do NOT accept.
• Do not visit suspicious web sites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend
that users install only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart
Hub.
