That’s awful, but also, don’t have passwordless WiFi in your home.
If its your landlord or neighbor that does it, though, that sucks. I guess you could find where the antenna is on the TV and tape some foil to the area to block it? Or open it up and snip it.

This isn’t just about smart TVs. Dumb displays and TVs hooked to Windows got hit by this too.
But:
There is no alternative OS for a smart TV.
Pretty much all TVs are smart these days.
The solution is to leave the TV disconnected from the internet, and don’t run Windows. Which is quite doable these days.
Can’t provide a source but I recall someone complaining about a TV connecting to passwordless Wi-Fi.
