      I couldn’t find it again, sorry. But it wasn’t any real brand that did this (yet), but cheap noname TV clones (similar to those Trojan horse android boxes). Not something you’d trust anyway, but didn’t expect them trying to bridge the gap to get telemetry.

        Yeah, seriously, that’s deeply sketchy if your TV basically starts trying to exploit your neighbor’s WiFi the second you plug it in. Wtf.
