Security warnings from LG tv connected to RBR850
I have recently begun to get multiple security warnings from my Netgear Armour software about my tv - a LG C2. The tv is connected by ethernet cable to my RBR850 router. Has anyone else experienced t...
I have just downloaded the latest version of the LG software (03.30.45) and this seems to have resolved the issue.
That’s a lot of false positives or LG vulnerabilities! If the former then maybe Armor/Bitdefender will be alerted to this and whitelist them or the AI will reconcile this and your score will increase back up. I’d be surprised if LG let a highly vulnerable firmware version out in the wild.
Thanks Jeff for the response!
I went ahead and moved the connection over to the guest network and it all got temporarily resolved. I'm sure the LG still has the vulnerabilities but it can no longer see or connect to other devices on the network, so it gives me time to further research what in the heck is going on. I'll keep you updated on what I find out.
Hi all,
I recently updated my firmware in the LG TV, so I'm keen to see if there now are fewer vulnerabilities. However, my Armor shows that the last scan of the LG Device was done 61 days ago. Apparently, it's not re-scanning the devices regularly. Does anyone know how I can force a re-scan of the LG television?
(There being no user manual that I can find....) Armor remains a "Black Box Mystery" to me. Two possibilities:
- Perhaps Armor does not scan devices on the Guest WiFi network. (Who cares? Those are "guests" who are going away soon. Let whoever owns them take care of them.) Try connecting to the primary WiFi network again?
- Maybe Armor scans when a device connects to the network. Power the LG off (completely, pull the plug) and turn it back on again.
I lean toward the Guest hypothesis. With that opinion and about $6 you can go to Starbucks.
Hahaha, mine is not connected to the guest network, so that option is off the table.
I will try an power it off completely when I get a chance and then see if it does anything.
I do see an option to remove the device from Armor, but I'm not sure what that does. Could it be that it just hides it and then no longer protects it?
