“The security of IoT devices is a growing concern in the industry, but connected toys that are easily accessible by hackers are sinister. The CloudPets issue highlights the fact that manufacturers of connected devices really struggle to bake security in from the start. The 2.2 million voice recordings were stored online, but not securely, along with email addresses and “easily guessable” passwords of 800,000 users, this is unforgivable. It’s clear that Spiral Toys hasn’t put basic security measures in place to protect its customers’ data. Knowing what critical information your organisation holds and why it’s of value to potential hackers, then ensuring that it’s stored securely is a crucial part of security management for any organisation.”
