All those Vtech toys are not very safe for kids. In November, a 21 year old broke into the customer's accounts. Since the toys are hooked to the App Store so he got a lots of information. This affected 6.4 million kids around the world. And 5 million parents accounts too. Putting all their information out for the world to see. This information included names, emails, secret questions and answers for passwords, IP addresses, mailing addresses, and download history. Most of the accounts hacked belonged to people in the UK, US, France, and Germany. They have put him in jail and also they are investigating to learn more. The hack put lots of valuable information out for the world to see.
I thought this was very interesting. Since VTech is a very popular kids toys. I really wanted to learn more about the very bad attack against them. Also what information was shared.
