December 13, 2019 By Kieren McCarthy Anyone that has attended a meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) will know that the somewhat dry topic of internet protocols is often the source of passionate disagreement. But rarely does that debate extend beyond the confines of internet engineers. That has not been the case with a new protocol which aims to make the Internet’s underlying domain name system more secure by default. In recent months, the adoption of DoH, standing for “DNS over HTTPS” has become the subject of heated argument in both tech and mainstream newspapers, as well as the halls of power in both the US and UK. “Google Draws House Antitrust Scrutiny of Internet Protocol,” reads one headline from the Wall Street Journal.

He said the models — GreaSmart Children’s SmartWatch, Jsbaby Game Smart Watch and SmarTurtle Smart Watch for Kids — were picked randomly from dozens for sale on Amazon and marketed as appropriate for grade school-aged kids. All three devices offer location tracking, messaging and chat features. They were manufactured in China and shared nearly identical hardware and software. They also had similar security issues, Rapid7 found. The watches let authorized users view and change configuration details by texting the watch directly with certain commands. In practice, this didn’t work and “unlisted numbers could also interact with the watch,” Rapid7 said in a report. This security issue could be fixed with a vendor-supplied firmware update, but “such an update is unlikely to materialize given that the ... Read more...
