Our Samsung Smart TV seems to have been hacked. It has been acting strange — turning off whilst we were watching it & returning to the home page — & it has been getting progressively weirder: volume turning up (a few times specifically to 50, others to random, higher numbers); fiddling with settings like turning voice control on; going to our profile; searching random letters; playing kids shows that were on the home page; & the constant turning off & on.

Just now I had been taking videos of it whilst sitting in front of the TV… I was trying to be discrete (the TV has a sensor & microphone, not camera though) to see what I could capture, & maybe this is a weird coincidence but as I made it obvious I was filming, it typed “iseeyou” in search (we have been reassured by Samsung it just has a sensor, no camera). After this, we turned it off at the wall & turned WiFi off, but are creeped out & not sure what to do next — do I need to check & secure all my devices, the cards & private information attached to the TV account?
