Smart Ski Helmet Headphone Flaws Leak Personal, GPS Data

The flaws could allow a bad actor to view victims personal information, track them and listen to their private conversations via the headphones walkie-talkie function, which uses mobile data and a phone app. After several attempts of notifying Outdoor Tech of the vulnerability starting on Feb. 6, researchers said the company did not acknowledge the security issue.
