We’ve become accustomed to hacker attacks on computers. But now, every device we use has become smart. Smart TV models, which have their own processors and operating systems, are among them. Here are the smart TV brand and models targeted by hackers.
Some Smart TV Models at Risk of Hacking
LG, which has not achieved the desired success in the smartphone market, has also suffered a significant blow in the smart TV world. According to reports, hackers targeted smart TV models using WebOS TV software versions 4 through 7.
According to this information, the WebOS versions on these models allow hackers to infiltrate the system. Hackers can add themselves to the device as users on these models. The purpose of the service causing this security vulnerability is to provide LAN access. However, hackers have managed to infiltrate LG smart TV models through this connection.
This time, Xiaomi became a hot topic with its new giant-screen television, Redmi Max 100 2025. Here are the most important details...
After gaining full control, attackers can easily access personal information and media stored on the TV. Following the hacker attack on smart TV models, LG quickly released an update. LG implemented the update for this smart TV hacker attack yesterday, on April 10th. Here are the LG smart TV models vulnerable to this attack:
- LG43UM7000PLA running webOS 4.9.7 – 5.30.40
- OLED55CXPUA running webOS 5.5.0 – 04.50.51

- OLED55A23LA running webOS 7.3.1-43 (mullet-mebin) – 03.33.85
LG announced that this update completely closes the vulnerability caused by this smart TV hacker attack. However, it’s still unclear how many models are affected by this vulnerability.
