All Fire Stick TV users are being urged to check whether or not devices have completed an urgent upgrade from Amazon.
The online retail giant has recently run an important software update in order to fix three serious issues that may have left users vulnerable to hackers. The bug allowed the popular streaming devices to be access by fraudsters due to security glitches.
The issues were identified by the security team at Bitdefender who then passed on the news to the Fire TV team, reports the Mirror. One flaw was found to be particularly dangerous with hackers able to gain control of devices via a tactic named PIN brute forcing.
