Energize Lab Announces Independent Security Audit Following Reports of Eiliko Robot Vulnerabilities
Energize Lab, the maker of the AI-powered Eiliko robot toy, has issued a statement addressing security vulnerabilities exposed by The Verge and researcher Sammy Azdoufal. The report revealed that hackers could access conversation transcripts and modify robot behavior, despite company claims regarding user privacy. In response, Energize Lab stated it is hiring an independent security firm to review its systems and has taken steps to close external backend access and disable remote modification interfaces. The company also pledged to stop storing conversation records and user profiles temporarily. However, follow-up investigations suggest that some data, including audio recordings and photos, remained accessible at unsecured web addresses even after the company's announcement.
