Recap of GamersNexus's LG smart TV investigation — network scanning, plaintext voice logs, and remote exploits — and why network-level filtering matters more than browser privacy settings.

A hands-on Nmap and Nessus vulnerability scan of a real home network, covering an outdated Node.js build, an open VNC service, and unauthenticated SMB shares.
