We had already reported how theSamsung Smart TVs may be spying on you.

Now comes even worse news.

Pen Test Partnershas found a vulnerability to abuse the voice recognition system on Android-based TV sets.

The only glitch in the hacking is that the Android TV should have Install apps from unknown sources enabled.

Pen Test Partners used a Sony Bravia 55X8005C with Android Lollipop 5.0.2 for its tests.
