Breach Intelligence

In November 2015, VTech’s Learning Lodge website, operated by the Hong Kong company known for producing children’s learning products, allegedly suffered a data breach. Hackers reportedly extracted more than 4.8 million parent accounts and 227,000 child accounts. The exposed data included home addresses, security questions and answers, and passwords stored as weak MD5 hashes. Children’s details, such as names, ages, genders, and links to their parents’ accounts, were also compromised.
