		</div><p>WikiLeaks has claimed Samsung smart TVs are among the CIA&#8217;s weapons for surveillance, adding that the agency worked with UK intelligence officials to turn microphones in TVs into listening devices.</p>
<p>Samsung smart TVs have microphones so viewers can make voice commands, such as requests for movie recommendations.</p>
<p>The commands typically are not transmitted outside the home unless users activate the feature.<br />
If the TV is off, there is no listening being done.</p>
<p>But WikiLeaks claims that documents it obtained show that through a programme called Weeping Angel, the target TV appears to be off when it is actually on &#8211; and listening.</p>
<p>WikiLeaks says the audio goes to a covert CIA server rather than a party authorised by Samsung.<br />
In such cases, audio is not limited to TV commands but could include everyday conversations.</p>
