An investigation into LG smart TVs has uncovered a series of invasive data-gathering behaviors that persist even when the devices are supposedly turned off. These televisions have been found to scan local Wi-Fi networks to identify and map other connected devices, such as smartphones. Furthermore, tests revealed that the TVs can capture microphone audio while the screen is dark, storing this data locally and uploading it to the cloud as soon as an internet connection is restored. This continuous monitoring raises serious concerns about user privacy and the transparency of modern smart home technology.
