Cybersecurity experts have said parents should boycott or at least be cautious of VTech's electronic toys because of how it has handled a hack attack.
They gave the advice after it emerged that VTech's new terms and conditions state that parents must assume responsibility for future breaches.

Nice. That's not going to fly anyway if it gets to court. You can't legally be made responsible for something you have no ability to influence.

The UK's data watchdog has said that VTech's new terms and conditions would not absolve it of liability in the case of future hack attacks.

It emerged earlier this week that the toy company had changed its terms to say that families using its software did so at their "own risk".
