FBI Releases Article on Privacy Risks Associated with Internet-Connected Children’s Toys

Original release date: July 17, 2017

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released an article on the privacy risks associated with Internet-connected children’s toys. FBI warns that Internet-connected toys may contain “sensors, microphones, cameras, data storage components, and other multimedia capabilities – including speech recognition and GPS options” that may put the privacy and safety of children at risk due to the disclosure of personal information. FBI recommends that consumers read user agreement disclosures and privacy practices for information on how a toy’s data may be used.

Users and administrators are encouraged to review the FBI article for more information and refer to the US-CERT Tip Protecting Your Privacy.
