An investigation for consumers who had their data compromised by the massive data breach at VTech’s Learning Lodge was announced.
Consumers who had their data compromised by the massive data breach of VTech’s Learning Lodge have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 – 1554.
The investigation by a law firm focuses the massive data breach by hacker on the electronic toy maker VTech, in which personal information of almost 5 million parents profiles and over 6.4 million children profiles were stolen.
In order to use certain VTech products, parents are required to register for an account with VTech and provide it with, among other things, their names, home addresses, email addresses, and passwords. Children can then create their own profiles for the devices by providing VTech with their names, passwords, dates of birth, gender, and, in certain circumstances, photographs.
On November 24, 2015, VTech discovered that its databases had been remotely accessed and hacked, and that nearly five million parent accounts and over six million related children’s profiles worldwide.
VTech said it hired a cyber forensic company to improve its security, and said it is cooperating with law enforcement officials worldwide. VTech said that a hacker accessed its “Learning Lodge” app store database.
However, according to the investigation consumers would not have purchased its products or services had VTech informed consumers that it would use inadequate security measures.
The investigation concerns whether VTech has sold millions of its web-connected devices but failed to implement industry-standard data security protocols that ultimately jeopardized its customers’ Sensitive Information and fell far short of its promises, and diminished the value of the products and services it provided.
Those who had their data compromised by the massive data breach at VTech’s Learning Lodge have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
