A researcher found a children's tablet contains malware that could put children's data at risk, TechCrunch reports. Researcher Alexis Hancock discovered the Dragon Touch KidzPad contains software that has been labeled as malware as it can "download and install new malware from the internet." KIDOZ founder Eldad Ben Tora said the company follows proper data protection standards. "Our services fully comply with (U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) requirements, prioritizing the protection of children’s privacy," he said.
