you probably had a favorite toy that was a constant companion,

Past simple

like Christopher Robin had Winnie the Pooh,

and your imagination fueled endless adventures?

Well, let me introduce you to my friend Cayla.

Cayla was voted toy of the year in countries around the world.

She connects to the internet and uses speech recognition technology

But the power doesn't lie with your child's imagination.

It actually lies with the company harvesting masses of personal information

while your family is innocently chatting away in the safety of their home,

as it is my job to protect consumers' rights in my country.

And with billions of devices such as cars,

energy meters and even vacuum cleaners expected to come online by 2020,

we thought this was a case worth investigating further.

with all the interesting things she was learning?

Did she have another friend she was loyal to and shared her information with?

you need to download an app to access all her features.

Parents must consent to the terms being changed without notice.

The recordings of the child, her friends and family,

And all this information can be shared with unnamed third parties.

Anyone with a smartphone can connect to Cayla

When we confronted the company that made and programmed Cayla,

that one had to be an IT expert in order to breach the security.

Shall we fact-check that statement and live hack Cayla together?

Cayla is equipped with a Bluetooth device

That means I, or any stranger, can connect to the doll

while being outside the room where Cayla and her friends are.

let's see what kids could hear Cayla say in the safety of their room.

Man: Hi. My name is Cayla. What is yours?

Man: Ah. Do you want to come out and play with me?

or to circumvent any other type of security to do this.

We published a report in 20 countries around the world,

taken off the shelves by Amazon and Wal-Mart,

However, Cayla was also for sale in stores around the world

for more than a year after we published our report.

What we uncovered is that there are few rules to protect us

and the ones we have are not being properly enforced.

We need to get the security and privacy of these devices right

because what is the point of locking a house with a key

if anyone can enter it through a connected device?

You may well think, "This will not happen to me.

I will just stay away from these flawed devices."

because simply by connecting to the internet,

you are put in an impossible take-it-or-leave-it position.

Like most of you, I have dozens of apps on my phone,

and used properly, they can make our lives easier,

more convenient and maybe even healthier.

But have we been lulled into a false sense of security?

and your phone was running out of battery,

and the last time you tried they were impossible to understand,

And now, the power imbalance is established,

because we have agreed to our personal information

being gathered and used on a scale we could never imagine.
