Can Kids GPS Trackers Be Hacked?

It's a scary thought: could someone else track your child? We look at the real-world risks and how to secure your devices.

The Vulnerability of Cheap Watches

Security researchers have repeatedly exposed cheap, off-brand kids watches for lacking basic encryption. Some allowed unauthorized users to spoof locations or listen to the microphone.

Securing Your Account

Most 'hacks' are simply weak passwords. Always use a strong, unique password for your tracking app and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if the service offers it.

Choosing Reputable Brands

Stick to established brands like Garmin, Apple, or dedicated safety companies like Jiobit. They invest heavily in infrastructure security and patch vulnerabilities quickly.
