White label SOS panic buttons can be hacked via SMS

A widely used panic alarm handed out to at least 10,000 thousand elderly people in the UK can be remotely controlled by sending simple SMS commands. The alarm is a small plastic pendant device with an SOS button in the middle. It connects to 2G/GPRS cellular networks, which means it can be used anywhere without the need for an intermediary base station and provides a live status feed. As well as being able to locate the wearer via GPS, it can also detect whether the wearer has taken a fall.”]
