Hackers Are Spying On Couples Through Their Smart TVs - And Putting Their Pictures On Porn Sites

Most of us imagine we have a certain amount of privacy when we are sat on our sofas, watching TV - but that might not the case.

Hackers have ‘watched’ couples making love on their sofas via webcams built into smart TVs - and put the video on porn sites.

Laura Higgins of the Revenge Porn Helpline told the Daily Mail, ‘We have dealt with one couple who were filmed making love in their living room through their smart TV by someone who had taken control of it.

‘The footage just appeared on a website.

‘Friends had seen it online and told them. The victims had no idea it was there — they had not made any personal videos and no names were attached to the online footage identifying the people in it.

‘But they could recognise their living room and from the angle the video was taken they worked out that it must have been filmed from the webcam that was attached to their smart TV.’

‘There was no communication from anyone to the couple - no blackmail threat or revenge-type message. So the conclusion must be it was a random attack - we just don’t know.’
