Is that what Toffee_Pie bought you for Christmas? :) You'll get a sore neck watching that!

JackClark 28 December 2016 07:43 PM

He went full retard, may not return.

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.

JackClark 28 December 2016 07:44 PM

Not me, blatantly stolen from the Internet.

Probably downloaded not from the app store

It's a TV so I doubt they had access to anything but the Play store.

bioforger 29 December 2016 02:55 PM

Easily done TV or not, just install kodi, which is probably what was done, then anything can be side loaded.

That particular one doesn't mention what the idiot family member did, probably something similar to the above. We will never know.

bioforger 29 December 2016 03:00 PM

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.

JackClark 29 December 2016 03:44 PM

One of his kids downloaded a dodgy app from the Play store to watch a movie. It's an LG running Google TV all official but not available any more.

bioforger 29 December 2016 04:15 PM

Where does it say that in the article?

bioforger 29 December 2016 04:25 PM

"It is unclear at this moment if Cauthon's relative downloaded an app from the official Play Store, or from a third-party source."

Jack you are a sh1t stirrer at best.

JackClark 29 December 2016 05:23 PM

JackClark 29 December 2016 05:26 PM

Look fool. This is an important public service announcement, I've done the same for Windows and gasp MacOS/iOS.

Enjoy it while it's rare.

Did you know that 89% of homophobes are gay? Fancy a bum?

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

JackClark 06 January 2017 08:42 AM

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.

On-the-bog 06 January 2017 09:08 AM

I'm simply pointing out how your statement is crap.
