 |  Xplora 4 smartwatch has a deliberate spyhole Takes photos and records audio The Xplora 4 smartwatch, made by Chinese outfit Qihoo 360 Technology Co, and marketed to children under the Xplora brand in the US and Europe, can covertly take photos and record audio when activated by an encrypted SMS message. According to Norwegian security firm Mnemonic, the backdoor is not a bug, but a deliberate, hidden feature. More than 350,000 watches have been sold so far and to be fair it is the sort of cock-up we expect from remote gizmos. However Harrison Sand and Erlend Leiknes in a report insist it is deliberate. https://fudzilla.com/news/iot/51693-...berate-spyhole |
