Samsung follows LG in killing Smart TV apps that rent out your internet

News Source : Android Authority

News Summary

Samsung is cracking down on Smart TV apps that bundle residential proxy software.
Security researchers found the technology embedded in several popular gaming titles.
The company confirmed to TechCrunch that it has already blocked new Smart TV app submissions that include residential proxy functionality.
It is now rolling out stricter developer policies while working to remove existing apps containing the software.
The move comes after Norwegian cybersecurity firm Mnemonic took a deep dive into Samsung’s Tizen platform, rooting a Smart TV to understand how residential proxy SDKs end up on consumer devices.

Security researchers discovered that popular Samsung TV apps (like PacMan) secretly contained residential proxy SDKs from data brokers like Bright Data.
