I don't recall seeing anything posted here on the forum on this subject, so I thought this should go out there.

It made the news yesterday and to be honest I don't think there is anything unhackable these days. Scary for parents nonetheless.

How absolutely shocking....

And, on Monday, Vtech confirmed five million customers had been affected and suspended trading in its shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange.

good find @Bambino! 

 I am in the same boat as @jonsie, it's very unfortunate that our data is the hands of hackers as soon as we take part in the "Internet of Things". Best advice...always be careful where you input your details!
