Smartphones and mobile devices are devices that we use actively and, therefore, there are more chances of detecting that they have been attacked by some type of malware by experiencing suspicious behavior or running slower than normal.

However, there are other devices that the user himself has not yet become aware of: connected devices or what is also known as the Internet of things.

Every device connected to a network is likely to be attacked and all the information it has access to can be compromised.

If we start thinking about all the devices that we have connected to the Internet in our house, probably the first ones we will have in mind would be, the computer, the family phones, tablets among the main ones.

But we certainly have other connected devices that we don't take in mind, such as a last generation freezer or a washing machine and of course our Smart TV.

These home appliances do not currently have an anti-malware security system that protects them and leaves them open to different attacks even while within our home network.

We already have solutions with ESET Internet Security, which by installing on your computer allows you to analyze the security of the router and that of all smart devices connected to your network.

In order to have security on all your mobile devices it is necessary to have the ESET Mobile Security Premium version license, since it is compatible with Smart TV platforms based on Android TV systems and its operation is very similar to what an Android mobile would have.

Simply install ESET Smart TV Security on your TV from the app store itself and the security app will keep your TV safe from ransomware, malware or phishing attacks, as well as ensure the security of the devices that connect to the TV via USB.

Now we ask ourselves the question Why would anyone want to attack my Smart TV?

Precisely this same question is asked by the millions of smartphone users who do not give too much importance to their personal data and do not have in mind the impressive amounts of money earned by attackers who are dedicated to stealing that data.

For example, if your Smart TV has voice control to activate or deactivate functions, what do you think could happen if someone took control of the Smart TV's listening system?

It is possible that other models even integrate cameras that respond to gesture control or, in any case, you probably have not stopped to think that your TV is also connected to your Google account through Google Play or YouTube, or maybe you have accessed to your Facebook account and the TV browser has saved access, or Netflix, etc.

Now think, don't you really need to protect your Smart TV? Remember that new generations of electronics are more than that, just as a Smartphone is no longer a simple phone.
