VTech breached Hong Kong-based consumer electronics manufacturer VTech. The company has admitted that its breach exposing profiles for 6.4 million children and 4.9 million adults occurred because its app store, online virtual world for kids and parent-child chat apps “were not as secure as they should have been” The penalty for anyone who fails on the security front is simple: apologize, patch and keep selling, no matter what type of private information you may have imperiled. “Free credit monitoring will be provided to all children affected, for one year, free of charge of course,” one ISMG reader quips.”]
