  Speaker 1: nodes as NDEs. Samsung has become the second major smart
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: TV maker to crackdown on the residential proxy software, banning
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: apps that quietly wrote third party Internet traffic through the

  Speaker 1: editor's choice version of pac Man included dormant proxy code
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that could when an able, transform a TV into a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: residential proxy exit node. The company said it has already
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: blocked new apps emissions that include residential proxy functionality and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is introducing stricter developer policies across his to Zen smart
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: TV platform. Is also working to identify remove apps already
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: availoped in this store that contained residential proxy software development
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: kits you know SDKs.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: The SDK was not active by department.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Instead, it remained dormant until the app downloaded a remote
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: configuration from the development server, and if the configuration unable
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to feature and the youths accepted a on screen prompt,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the TV then could begin forwarding third party internet traffic

  Speaker 1: through your household's broadband connection even after the game is seld.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Has been closed.

  Speaker 1: how residential proxy networks end up on consumers smart TVs.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: The researchers had pointed out that the proxy software it

  Speaker 1: was only part of the story, and they argued that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the bigger problem lied in how many smart TV apps
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: are built and then rather than shipping all of their
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: code through Samsung's review process, some acts act as lightweight
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: shells that downloaded most of their functionality from remote servers
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: after installation, and that meant that an app approved by
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Samsung may behave very differently once it's running in your
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: living room.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And LG has already started his own crackdown.
