LONDON—U.K. police on Tuesday arrested a 21-year-old man as part
of an investigation into the late November hacking of Hong
Kong-based digital-learning toy maker VTech Holdings Ltd.
Officers arrested the man in Bracknell, about 30 miles west of
London, on suspicions of unauthorized access to a computer to
facilitate the commission of an offense, the police said.
In late November, the maker of learning products for toddlers
said that an "unauthorized party" hacked into its database and
stole information, including the names and birth dates of 6.4
million children and 4.9 million adults, as well as head shots and
chat messages.
Almost half the accounts hacked were in North America, VTech's
top market, which contributed nearly half of the company's $928
million in revenue for the six months to September.
