Legislators want to know how VTech handles children’s data
In the days following a surprisingly heinous hack on kiddy-gadget-maker VTech, shock and surprise have given way to pointed curiosity. The latest slew of questions come from Senator Edward J. Markey (D–MA) and Congressman Joe Barton (R–TX), who just issued a letter — that definitely doesn’t double as a PR grab at all — calling on VTech to explain what kind of data they collect from kids under 12 and what they’re actually doing with it. VTech (better known as Hong Kong-based VTech Holdings) has until January 8 to proffer a response, though the company technically doesn’t have to respond at all.
