Liam Tung, ZDNet; FBI to parents: Beware, your kid's smart toy could be a security risk
"The FBI has warned parents that internet-connected toys could pose privacy and "contact concerns" for children.
The FBI on Monday released a public service announcement (PSA) warning that smart toy sensors such as microphones, cameras and GPS, raise a concern for the "privacy and physical safety" of children.
"These features could put the privacy and safety of children at risk due to the large amount of personal information that may be unwittingly disclosed," it warns.
It highlights that toys can collect the child's name, school, preferences and activities when conversing with the toy or talking near it."
