I've not heard of any cases of anyone being infected by streaming IPTV
Thanks , yes but if you have a fire tv and keep it regularly updated without side loaded apps you are relatively secure albeit it dependant on u're defense on home , firewall etc.How secure is everything??
iptv can be hacked lines stolen by using certain software but as for you getting a 🦠 or malware from installing a providers app never seen or heard of it myself
I’ve no updates done on my firestick and uninstall and re install apps constantly even doing friends/family devices for them with no updatesThanks , yes but if you have a fire tv and keep it regularly updated without side loaded apps you are relatively secure albeit it dependant on u're defense on home , firewall etc.
IPTV you install the app which could contain malware. The streaming although unlikely could be an actor vector also.
Think all points here reflect that.
I guess like any security, measures can be taken , secure for example the fire tv running IPTV on its own Vlan with inbound and outbound rules.
Isn't that a security risk though any of the fixed android vulnerabilities would be openI’ve no updates done on my firestick and uninstall and re install apps constantly even doing friends/family devices for them with no updates
If they want access to my porn hub app they can gladly email me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Isn't that a security risk though any of the fixed android vulnerabilities would be open
Well in that case you will not get far on fire tv or firestick especially when there are no apps for iptv from amazon if it was not for downloader app or side loading I do not think it would be as popular to the masses.Thanks , yes but if you have a fire tv and keep it regularly updated without side loaded apps you are relatively secure albeit it dependant on u're defense on home , firewall etc.

I don't think that's the case though unless you have taken some security measures to isolate the device from the rest of your network.If they want access to my porn hub app they can gladly email me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could well be but if you don’t put details on or if you use a dummy Amazon account then nothing to be taken
Understand there are no official apps.Well in that case you will not get far on fire tv or firestick especially when there are no apps for iptv from amazon if it was not for downloader app or side loading I do not think it would be as popular to the masses.
Can you explain how anything can execute on Linux without express permission from the owner/admin of the device it has been downloaded to,?I don't think that's the case though unless you have taken some security measures to isolate the device from the rest of your network.
An infected device such as a fire stick should be able to propogate to rest of your home network in less than a minute.
I manage a few hundred android devices in the field and we keep them regularly updated to avail of the latest security updates from Google. It's not really about protecting the device itself but more to protect what it's connected to on rest of the network.
Same applies for Linux devices, we recently done a deep scan on our enterprise network for them , the level of vulnerabilities open was crazy on Linux that wasn't patched. Thankfully our enterprise network is behind some farely large scale firewalls and some serious security measures.

There are no standard admin/root permissions on Linux unless they have been specifically set-up, which only an idiot would do, like microshite has allowed on windoze.
If you're concerned about IPTV then go get sky, it's rare for Android and LInux to get infected, far less than windows based systems but if you're that concerned then IPTV is not for you.
I'd suggest it's your enterprise network that is insecure, and not Linux as a whole.Heres a quick example from random search:
CVE-2022-28960 | Ubuntu
But some old ones :
Anatomy of a data leakage bug – the OpenSSL “heartbleed” buffer overflow
Bash “Shellshock” vulnerability – what you need to know
There is a bit of a myth Linux is secure, maybe 10 years ago this was true, but the attacks target vulnerabilities just as they do on windows.
In our enterprise environment, we constantly patch both windows and Linux including android.
