Beware of Unsolicited Smartwatches in the Mail, Warns US Military

Members of the US military are being warned not to turn on unsolicited smartwatches they have received in the mail, as they may contain malware designed to collect personal and sensitive information. The smartwatches are also being used for "Brushing," a deceitful technique used to boost seller ratings using fake orders. It is currently unknown who is distributing the malicious smartwatches, and any member of the military receiving one is asked to report it to their local counterintelligence or security manager.
