Does Your TCL Roku TV Have a Security Flaw ? The Answer is No.
However, you might still want to be careful about what kind of electronics you purchase.
Back in mid-November, some researchers sounded the alarm about a potential “Chinese backdoor” in the Android TVs that TCL sells in the United States.
The researcher and hacker known as “Sick Codes” discovered “extraordinary vulnerabilities” in the TCL Android TVs, and after he and a colleague notified TCL, they responded after a delay that they had researched and patched the vulnerability.
“Updating devices and applications to enhance security is a regular occurrence in the technology industry, and these updates should be distributed to all affected Android TV models in the coming days,” TCL said in a statement to the media.
