#AngelSense
NEW, by me: GPS tracking firm AngelSense exposed the personal information and precise location data of its users to the open internet, security researchers say.

AngelSense confirmed it fixed the exposed server, which was unprotected without a password.

This is Allan’s AngelSense monitor telling us he left the school! Annie and I each called the school and he is safe in class! This is scary. Once in awhile there is a glitch.

The researchers at security firm UpGuard, which discovered the exposed AngelSense database, said they found GPS coordinates of individuals — including associated health information about the tracked person, which included conditions like autism and dementia.

За съжаление Garmin няма такава функционалност. Опция ти е Епъл (но ти трябва iPhone) или някой от специализираните часовници тип AngelSense и Theora

Allan’s alarm keeps telling me he left the school. He hasn’t. I checked the AngelSense map AND called the school. But it always scares me and mama!

My daddy now has [in addition to the Life 360 app he already had on his phone] Apple airtags in his belongings and an AngelSense watch for me to track his location multiple different ways in case he leaves his phone at home and goes missing again 🙃

Took Jax to an amazing park in Chehalis recently.
His speech has improved considerably over the last few months. Now that he is wearing his Angelsense device I’ve found that I have way less anxiety when he’s not in my sight.

Angelsense exposed position date and personal information on monitored users
Angelsense, a assisted technological company that provides location monitoring devices for people with disabilities, was paying personal identification information and precise position data of its open internet users, Techcrunch has learned. The company obtained the server on Monday, more than a week after it was notified of the loss of data by the researchers of the Upguard security company. Upguard shared the details of the exhibition exclusively with Techcrunch after Angelsense resolved the interval.

Angelsense monitors have a magnetic pin in them that can only be removed with a key, like a sensor tag on a clothes in a store. So no one could remove the tracker. They're made with kids who have sensory issues/on the spectrum so they can be worn in different ways, hidden in clothes etc.

He does have an AngelSense monitor but only wears it to school. and when I could still take him out, we’d put it on. He wears it when he’s with dad too.

Hahahaha It was totally AngelSense. I mapped the school barrier large enough to include more after I called Jean at the school! I think they use their walkie talkies for runners. It sounded like she would have heard if he ran.

The UK has secretly demanded that Apple undermine everyone's privacy. This is a big deal. Also: Netgear router bugs; the good & bad of DeepSeek AI; AngelSense breach; OCR iOS and macOS stealer malware; and a cool new Android security feature.

I bought AngelSense trackers for my grandkids. I've been trying to figure out how to set it up for their parents and locked myself out of my own account like twice now. lmao

Anyway, they have a Back-to-School deal:
