Wearable device security is a well-dressed electronic device worn on the person body as an accessory. These devices carry huge amounts of user data ranging from customer demographics & electronic health record (EHR). These may open the extent for possible security vulnerabilities for instance data exfiltration, account harvesting intercepting data with Bluetooth or pairing App to connect with other IoT gear, point-to-point networking, proximity-based vulnerabilities, new Wi-Fi networks and others. Additionally, it could also lead to poodle attack, obtaining an IMEI, remote code execution, covert account takeover, location spoofing and others.
