Hello Barbie: Keep the new Mattel doll away from children

Hello Barbie; Όχι ευχαριστώ…. Από αυτή την ιστοσελίδα, αναφέρουμε πολύ συχνά ότι διάφορες διαφημιστικές εταιρείες συλλέγουν δεδομένα που τα προωθούν στους άμεσα ενδιαφερόμενους… τις εμπορικές επιχειρήσεις που πληρώνουν καλύτερα. Παρακάτω θα αναφέρουμε ένα προϊόν που δεν χρειάζεται τις διαφημιστικές εταιρείες για να συλλέξει δεδομένα, και δυστυχώς παρακολουθεί μικρά .Hello Barbie

"Hello Barbie" is Mattel's new talking doll, which is preparing to be released worldwide at Christmas. The doll uses a clever AI to listen to and respond to simple toddler messages. What Barbie does not mention is that she collects data from the children who use it.

The doll listening and reply function is based on the cloud, and is triggered if the child holds the Barbie belt buckle.

So that says the kid is being streamed to the company's Cloud servers and analyzed by ToyTalk, a Mattel tech mate who hired to analyze the data.

ToyTalk employees and their partners can listen to children's conversations with the doll (Hello Barbie) and – according to the company's privacy policy – ​​use them to “provide, maintain and analyze the functionality of the Service, to develop, test or improve it αναγνώρισης φωνής και των αλγόριθμων intelligence, but also for other research and development purposes."

The last com raises questions. What exactly are "other research and development purposes", and could they include the use of this speech data by third parties or even by the company itself and its partners?

According to a recently published study titled "Treading Beyond the Iota of Fear: eDiscovery of the Internet of Things"

Τη By connecting multiple communication devices to a single automated ecosystem, one can not only create a very accurate mapping of data about an individual's part and recent activity, but also make a sensory device - robotic or otherwise - respond in preventive needs of the individual. But will you be in control of your personal data?

The game market at this time, reportedly reported by TNW, is reported to be worth $ 84 and remains largely untouched by the global market, at least in terms of behavior monitoring and consumer interest in the same way they are monitored these behaviors in adults.

In addition to the commercial market, the new generation of connected games can lead to known security threats from hackers.

Of course, Mattel's "Hello Barbie" also has vulnerabilities.

Security researcher Matt Jacubowski he argues ότι κατάφερε να παραβιάσει το λειτουργικό σύστημα της κούκλας και ότι ήταν σε θέση να “αποκτήσει κάποια στοιχεία που ενδεχομένως δεν θα έπρεπε να αποκτήσει.” Τα δεδομένα που κατάφερε να συλλέξει συμπεριελάμβαναν το ονόματα δικτύων Wi-Fi, εσωτερικές διευθύνσεις MAC, IDs και MP3 αρχεία.

The choices you will make as parents, as always will affect your children. Protection of privacy should not come as a second chance. Think before you donate your children to Hello Barbie.
