    MWR on the move

    19th March, 2018 - MGM Wireless Limited (ASX:MWR) On 18th October 2017, the Norwegian Consumer Council published a report identifying serious privacy and security flaws in four GPS-enabled watches for children1. Following this report, MGM Wireless (‘MGM’, ‘the Company’) commissioned an in-depth review of security and privacy aspects of its SPACETALK children’s GPS smart watch phone and All My Tribe (AMT) ecosystem, by Dr Matthew Sorell, of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University of Adelaide.
    A recognised cyber security expert, Dr Sorell was appointed last year as an academic member of the INTERPOL Digital Forensics Expert Group, specialising in wearable devices such as smart watches and fitness devices. He conducted a review of SPACETALK’s technical security mechanisms and compliance with policy and regulations in the Australian market, encompassing informed consent, legal requirements for retaining customer records, and measures required to secure private information.

    Dr Sorell has now completed his systematic investigation and delivered his comprehensive 33-page report which concludes:
    • All My Tribe ecosystem uses best practice security for authenticated and encrypted communications between subsystems, and best practice identity authentication. • MGM’s commitment to well-engineered security solutions and ongoing security development is to be commended. • Overall, technical security of the SPACETALK Watch and the All My Tribe ecosystem is implemented well and is appropriate for purpose.
