	Cloud flaws expose millions of child tracking smartwatches
	https://techcrunch.com/2019/12/18/cloud-flaws-millions-child-watch-trackers/

Excerpt:

	"The researchers said that most of the commands that control the
	devices do not require authorization and the commands are well
	documented, allowing anyone with basic knowledge to gain access
	and track a device. And because there is no randomization of
	account numbers, the researchers found they could access devices
	in bulk simply by increasing each account number by one."

And then it gets worse.
