Novatel’s MiFi hotspots allow a 3G connection to be converted into Wi-Fi. A new exploit lets hackers reveal your location and all your security info. The exploit affects the MiFi 2200s sold by Verizon and Sprint. Even if GPS is turned off, a remote command can be used to switch it back on. If you’re a MiFi user, just be careful out there until Novatel issues a fix for the exploit. It’s possible to change the hotspot’s settings to the point where a factory reset is required.”]
