Google says it’s fixing a nasty Android TV account security loophole

Should sideloading Chrome on an old smart TV really compromise your entire account?

@arstechnica It's Android, thus, works as designed. The only thing they did was install apps which were supported by the underlying platform and correctly made use of the APIs to retrieve user data, just like in a phone this would have been possible. I fail to understand how this is a security concern. Do not login to your Google account if the TV is not yours, period.
