Children smart watches due to easy to leak secret banned foreign children turned weapon leaked black hand?
Recently, CCTV news reports said the German government banned children from using "telephone watches" because of privacy or their own security loopholes. Selling children's smart watches in the end is "looking for tools", or worry-ridden black hand? Ruan lady to her daughter bought 3 smart watches, and now, they are quietly "lying" in the drawer.
Foreign domestic sales have doubled their sales
In the urban area of ??Ji'nan, the turnover of touch screen watch in 2015 reached 1 million yuan, doubling the turnover in 2017 to more than 2 million yuan. This is a Suning Yun Trading Co., Ltd. Shandong Digital Commodity Director Mr. Zhang to reporters with a set of data to an average unit price of 600 yuan, 2017 Jinan 45 Suning stores sold about 3,300 children's watches. According to data from small genius factories, young genius in 2015 sold about 1.8 million in the country.
However, it is precisely with this sales doubled performance of children's smart watches, but it was banned. Recently, the German Federal Network Regulatory Authority announced the complete ban on children's smart watches in Germany. The reason for the network control board is that most of these watches are capable of listening and recording in the background, and local laws prohibit this operation without the permission of the recording staff. Not long ago, the EU Consumer Council also said the safety factor of children's smart watches is too low, easily become the target of hacker attacks.
Jinan schools expressly prohibit students from wearing them
Like Ms. Nguyen, there are not many people who are asylum-ridden after their children's plans to buy children's smartwatches. The reason, in addition to children themselves, is more due to the school specifically forbidding students to wear children's smart watches into the campus.
Blossoming Yanshan Primary School in 2016 has explicitly forbidden students to wear children's smart watches into the campus. Zhang Jianting, director of the sixth grade of the third grade of the university, told reporters: "Some parents said that children should wear watches for safety reasons. However, students have teachers in schools and special teachers in small tables. Teachers with any problems will contact parents in time. There is no problem with the safety of students in this area. "There is no question about the teaching being monitored. What is most worrying about the school is that it not only affects the students 'energy, but also can easily lead to students' comparisons. Adverse growth.
Reporter interviewed learned that touch screen watch not only popular among primary school students, and even parents to the kindergarten children are 3-4 years old to buy. In this regard, a kindergarten manager in Jinan City, said kindergarten children are still in the parent transfer stage, kindergartens also require children to enter the park shall not wear any accessories to prevent injuries at the event, so there is no need to wear watches.
Development loopholes will leak risk
For the sale of children's smartwatches, the German telecom agencies and regulators will be targeting the audio collection capabilities of watches, while the European consumer groups directly consider it a threat to children's privacy and personal safety and even warn hackers may easily By tracking the children through GPS tracking, you can clearly locate the child's location.
According to Mr. Zhang from Suning Business, this move by Germany has a great relationship with cultural differences. Children's smart watch backstage is similar to mobile phones, computers, as long as the network can certainly be the risk of being hacked, but in general, outweighs the benefits, "This is also the main reason for doubling its sales."
This reporter has learned that the composition of the touch screen watch is divided into hardware and software in two parts. Mei Lei, who has been working in the IP industry for 20 years, told reporters that the security risk exists mainly in the software (ie, APP) part of the watch. Every time an APP is downloaded there is a risk of being black, which is mainly targeted at the background server and APP software itself, the attack server is relatively easy, but also targeted; the same time, APP is artificially developed, there must be some loopholes, the possibility of being attacked exists.
The reporter called Cheertone official customer service, which said users can rest assured that the company's products, in addition to new high-end products suitable for high school students, the company's other products can only be used in 2G network environment, and Sogou companies have their own security Protection system and its own server, there will be no information leakage problems. After the user unbinds the watch, no user information is left.
Mei Lei told reporters that the risk of monitoring is that the phone has been in the connected state, hackers can watch set automatically open at a certain time period, in which case, will certainly be monitored. If the watch is used by adults other than children, there will certainly be hidden dangers.
