Smart Toys Targeted By Hackers

The “Teksta Toucan Electronic Toy” microphone and speaker can connect to any Bluetooth device such as a cellphone, home router or laptop computer automatically.

Hackers on the net have penetrated the microphone and use them to listen to conversations.  Hackers can also speak over the device directing kids to possibly get into trouble.

Soon Teksta Toucan will have robotic eyes too...oh joy!

Smart dolls “Calya” and “i-Que” are made using the same technology.  Hacking one, however can result in violating the Children’s Online Privacy Act in the USA. Still none have been blocked from or taken off the market. 

Got any in your house yet?
