When Samsung unveiled a couple of years ago that he would leave partially Android for its own operating system Tizen expectation was rather high. Since then and to date the transition has been rather slow, but the acceptance of the software was projecting a positive image, so far.
A Motherboard people report has uncovered the cloaca on the existing security flaws today within Tizen, making it one of the most unsafe platforms, with more than 40 delicate errors on your system that could expose the integrity and information of the users of this platform.
Amihai Neiderman, a computer security specialist was responsible for revealing all the mess during his speech at the latest Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit, ensuring that Tizen has the worst code specialist has ever seen:
What you could do wrong did. It is quite obvious that anyone with the slightest understanding on topics of computer security watched or wrote that code. It is as if they had been a student programming their software.
Neiderman says all Samsung with Tizen installed devices are vulnerable, from smartphones to smart watches, but the TVs, Smart TVs with internet access, would be particularly susceptible to be intervened, and in fact showed it.
The cherry on the cake is that Neiderman would have tried to contact Samsung on these serious problems, but says only he got answers automated without any direct contact to address the vulnerabilities, until Motherboard developed the report.
The official position of Samsung is that such situations should be derived to its program of hunting bugs for Smart TVs, but the situation would actually be much more delicate.
