Researchers at Pen Test Partners found flaws that could allow remote hackers to retrieve real-time GPS coordinates of kids GPS-tracking watches. The Gator line had been in the spotlight in 2017 for having a raft of vulnerabilities, called out by the Norwegian Consumers Council in its WatchOut research.
