Do you wear a smart bracelet?

    Some kindergartens require children to wear Mi Bands 24 hours a day and use data for research. However, experts say that the information on smart bands is usually not encrypted and can be easily obtained.

Interview with professionals

    National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Information Management Professor Cha Shilang: “Germany recently banned the sale of wearable smart watches for children. This secretly recording the teacher’s speech or something without the teacher’s knowledge is actually a threat to the privacy of neighbors.” However, even if the data is not transmitted to the big data center, it may be intercepted midway. Lock a long antenna message receiver and plug it into the computer to capture information on the bracelets of nearby people.

    National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Information Management Professor Cha Shilang: “If there is some security design, there is no well-designed bracelet, or the Internet of Things device, when it transmits some sensitive information, we can record from here. It’s here.” And the Tokijuan information security issue Facebook was also named again.

Apple CEO doubts Facebook’s security issues

    Apple’s chief CEO Cook made him feel uneasy and angered Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. He would not make money by selling out guest privacy, and even reported asking management team employees to switch to Android phones. Regardless of physical data or social mood posts, as long as they are online, they seem to have more privacy concerns.
