And one of the greater risks of unsanctioned gathering of information, such as what Samsung Smart TVs are being under fire for, is that the transmission of information may not be secured. They could be intercepted and stolen by hackers. Potentially, an unsecured Smart TV could become a dangerous spy hardware.

Is there something you can do?

You may choose not to enable voice command in your Samsung Smart TV. If you already have, disable it right away. Instead of using your voice to control the TV, use the remote control or any input device, such as a keyboard or a mouse or any other device that doesn’t require your voice to command.
