FBI issues urgent warning over spy toys which put ‘privacy and safety of children at risk’

“Smart toys and entertainment devices for children are increasingly incorporating technologies that learn and tailor their behaviours based on user interactions,” it wrote in a statement.

“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.”

Spy toys are now on sale across the world and last year parents were warned about a doll called My Friend Cayla which allegedly recorded kids’ conversations.
