CID Lookout: Unsolicited Smartwatches Received by Mail > Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division
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.
Malware may be present which accesses both voice and cameras, enabling actors access to conversations and accounts tied to the smartwatches
