You may wonder if it is possible hack your Samsung smart TV. Wikileaks released a large collection of CIA espionage records. These documents reveal a number of hackable gadgets that the CIA uses for espionage purposes, including smart TVs. "Weeping Angel," a hack that is similar to the one above, was identified. This knowledge will allow you to identify if your television has been compromised and determine if it is possible to restore its factory settings.
It's possible to take control over a large number of smart TVs without actually having physical access.
A recent data dump published by Wikileaks claims that the CIA can hack Samsung smart TVs without a user's knowledge. The data dump suggests that the CIA can secretly transmit audio, record audio, and even inject ads into a smart TV without the user knowing about it. This major breakthrough could make smart TVs millions more vulnerable to these attacks.
Exploiting two known security flaws in Web browsers
A hacker can send malicious commands to a smart television with a new proof-of-concept attack. The rogue signal then gets broadcast to other nearby devices. The proof-of concept exploit has already been shown to work on two Samsung TV models. The attack exploits two documented security flaws in Web browsers and could also be used to target other TV models.

Using rogue DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting -- Terrestrial) signals
Hackers could hijack smart TVs with over-the–air video broadcasting signal and gain root acces, which allows them to spy and carry out DDoS attack. Oneconsult security researchers developed an attack that uses DVB-T rogue signals to hack into smart televisions. This works with two Samsung TV models, but it is likely to work on other televisions.
Resetting an smart tv's factory settings
You can reset your smart TV using the remote control. Navigate to the main menu, then press the "Exit” button. To confirm, hold the button for 10 seconds.
