This is a very funny story. Android TV with Google Play, quite old. Kids downloaded an app to watch a movie, a few minutes in and this ransomware was staring at them. OK it's a TV, just hard reset it, that's a hidden feature that's not proving easy to get to.
Also most smart tv's have their own app section, LG may have poor vetting/security on that part and allowed a rogue app into that area. Extremely unlikely to be from the google store as you think.
The only spaced out retard here is you Jack, most normal people on here have seen this long ago but you clearly are a special specimen on here, one very sad Apple lunatic and people have better things to be doing than having dialogue with retards whose grey matter is irreversibly damaged.
Where did you see a TV infected with ransomware "a long time ago" very interested to see how the entire security industry hadn't seen it but "normal people on here" have.
Good to have you back TP, hope you're receiving enough care.

I'm presuming you have asked them all? or did you just google it?
other thing is do you really think there going to advertise something like that?
I'm guessing apple doesn't sell any items then since they have stopped releasing ales figures eh jacky boy
I'm not sure why you're trying to swing this to Apple but to answer your question do a search, it was reported as an industry first everywhere, made the BBC news the day after I reported it.
