TL;DR - VTech is terrible.<p>Slightly less TL;DR - VTech got hacked, hard, and instead of investing in securing their products and services, they opted to update their Terms and Conditions to make them not liable for any data loss you experience from using them.<p>Sorry if this is too editorialized and negative for HN, but I struggle (and fail) to maintain neutrality when people are willingly putting children&#x27;s online privacy at risk.<p>If anyone is worried their company in a similar position as VTech, security-wise, please don&#x27;t repeat their mistake. You&#x27;ll find it&#x27;s cheaper to secure your products than to settle lawsuits stemming from negligence. Plus, there are fringe benefits.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;paragonie.com&#x2F;files&#x2F;white-papers&#x2F;DataBreach2015.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;paragonie.com&#x2F;files&#x2F;white-papers&#x2F;DataBreach2015.png</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibmcostofdatabreach.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibmcostofdatabreach.com&#x2F;</a><p>(If anyone reading this IS in a similar situation, consider this an open invitation to email me for help getting started on the road to better security, should you need a bit of guidance.
