While checking the blog of our Digital security auditor , I found a blog entry discussing the issues associated with Android smart TV. I know Android is Dam vulnerable in the wrong hands. I am having 4th gen TV. Do I need to concern about such attacks?

Can you post a link to the site you found that is dedicated to Apple TV security?

Currently the Apple TV does not have a web browser. Which is a major point of attack on smart TVs. And the mic on the remote is not always on.

I've been following the RSS feeds for appletvhacks.net for about a year now. There haven't been any posts about security issues, just news and info for the platform. Commenting that the "site is dedicated to security issues" is misinformation... o_O
