So Prior to the sale of these devices
..wannabe child molesters of whatever flavour had to track down their details by direct observation, or trawling social media.
Are the details of these devices in a single database, or searchable in some fashion that allows the crim to say, "hmmm, I feel like a 7 year old tonight, lets take a look through Kid-E-Traks GPS records" ?
I mean, apart from the abysmal device security, does it also (fail to) contain 'personally identifiable information' that makes life more convenient for such predators?
If its only another shitty leaky IoT ripoff device, then all the OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN !!!! is misplaced sensationalism, and its not particularly worse than any of the others, however, if there is an access-able database of users, or a specific range of addresses or mobile numbers associated with the devices, and child predators can use this knowledge to improve their predations... THEN the threat level is actually meaningful.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
