Service members across the military have reported receiving smartwatches unsolicited in the mail. These smartwatches, when used, have auto-connected to Wi-Fi and began connecting to cell phones unprompted, gaining access to a myriad of user data.
These smartwatches may also contain malware that would grant the sender access to saved data to include banking information, contacts, and account information such as usernames and passwords...
What to do if you receive one of these devices:
- DO NOT turn the device on.
- Report it to your local counterintelligence, security manager, or through our Submit a Tip - Report a Crime reporting portal. more
