IN ORDER TO protect their children's safety, many parents buy smart watches that allow them to track their kids' whereabouts and make telephone calls for them. Yet there are reports that the smart watches can be hacked, threatening the children's safety. Hbnews.cn comments:
As early as 2015, there were reports of serious loopholes in the security of some smart watches. Now it is reported that hackers can not only locate the children wearing these devices, but also listen to their daily conversations and make records of their daily activities.
Besides, certain brands of smart watches reportedly emit high levels of radiation, which may pose a health risk. It seems the products designed to protect children may actually pose a threat.
