"As our colleagues at EvilPacket have discovered, the unit's integral GPS interface can be hacked in such a way that a MiFi user visiting a malicious Web site can have their geographic location and passphrase revealed without their permission," said Richard Kirk, European director with the application vulnerability specialist.
