A study by Hewlett Packard (HP) has revealed that a hefty 100 per cent of smartwatches contain significant security vulnerabilities.
As part of HP's extended shuftie over the Internet of Things thing, the company has unveiled a new report (PDF) in which it confirms that wristjob wearing wallies are even wider open to cyberattacks than they are to being ridiculed in The Register.
The study said that it could not find a single smartwatch which didn't show shoddy security implementations, including naff authentication, and what can only be described as a cultural allergy to crypto.
