Connected Wristwatch Allows Hackers to Stalk, Spy On Children

The Misafes Kids Watcher costs less than 10 Euro, and offers functions for parents like two-way calling via a SIM and cellular connection, as well as an accompanying app for parents to track their child s location. Researchers at Pen Test Partners found vulnerabilities in the gadget that translate into a stalker or pedophile’s ideal toolset: They could allow remote hackers to retrieve real-time GPS coordinates of the kids watches. Attackers could also call kids on their watches, eavesdrop on their conversations and intercept personal information about them.
