Connected toy company CloudPets suffered a data breach that may have exposed information from more than 800,000 accounts. CloudPets' stuffed animals can send and receive voice messages from users, including children and their parents. A security researcher said the hackers accessed a database containing email addresses and hashed passwords. A company executive said there was no evidence that hackers were able to actually decrypt the password and access accounts.
