Child-tracking smartwatches provide a convenient means of monitoring a child’s safety for parents. However, if the devices have security flaws, they could risk the safety of kids. Recently, researchers found some notable vulnerabilities in MiSafes child-tracking smartwatches that make these trackers prone to hacks.
Researchers from Pen Test Partners found some serious security issues in MiSafes child-tracking smartwatches. According to their findings, the flaws can allow an attacker snoop into the smartwatch system, and compromise your child’s safety.
According to researchers, exploiting the bugs could let them access the target child’s GPS coordinates, send audio messages to them or call them, make secret one-way calls for spying, or retrieve a child’s personal details, like name, age, gender, weight, and photograph(s).
The researchers and the BBCattempted to contact the vendors, but received no response.
