Digital Safety Expert Shares What You Need to Know about this Season's Top Tech Gifts, Gives Tips to Avoid Security Risks With the holiday season in full swing, shoppers are making their lists and checking them twice. But as you make your way through shopping malls and cyberspace, it's not only how you buy gifts that puts your security at risk, it's also how you secure the gifts you buy.

INTEL SECURITY'S 2015 MOST HACKABLE HOLIDAY GIFTS: SMART WATCHES & FITNESS TRACKERS Ø The real value of breaking into a wearable device is in its connection to a smartphone. With access to a smartphone, a hacker could potentially jump outside the wearable's application and read emails, SMS or even install malicious software and mine the device for personal info. SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS Ø Attackers can take control of Bluetooth and with some information and trickery, they can impersonate a Bluetooth device and use that to steal information or mine the device for info to steal your identity. DRONES AND CAMERA-ENABLED DEVICES Ø These days, everybody seeks to capture their every move with camera-enabled devices and even to capture aerial views with gadgets such as drones. Without proper security, these types of devices can give the wrong people access to personal data that you would not want to be shared. KID GADGETS Ø There will be many Internet-connected children's toys this year. That means parents will need to take the time to understand how a toy — be it a remote control car or a doll — connects and interacts with the online world.
