"Research Exposes Security, Privacy and Safety Issues in Female Technology Apps Used to Track Fertility, Menopause and Monthly Cycle"
A team of researchers identified significant security, privacy, and safety issues with FemTech, which is a collection of digital technologies focusing on women's health and well-being. Such technologies include apps, wearable devices, and software. The researchers found FemTech apps gaining access to users' personal contacts, camera, microphone, location, system settings, and more, posing major security and privacy risks. These apps and Internet of Things (IoT) devices use embedded sensors to collect various types of data about users, their relatives, their bodies, and their environments. According to the study, such practices can reveal sensitive information about users to third parties. This article continues to discuss the research on security and privacy risks in FemTech.
