Amanda Erickson, Washington Post; This pretty blond doll could be spying on your family
"Cayla is an example of a much broader phenomenon: More and more of our “things” are being connected to the Internet. One tech company estimates that by the end of this decade, 50 billion things will have Web connections, everything from refrigerators to cars to lightbulbs. That has an upside — one day soon, your car may be able to read your texts as you drive, and your fridge could assess what's inside it and carefully manage its energy use.
But many of these products are also vulnerable to cyberattack. And that can provide snoops, spies and other ne'er-do-wells access to our most intimate moments."
