Security researchers at Pen Test Partners found Fisher-Price’s Chatter phone, which can make and receive calls through Bluetooth using a nearby phone, does not include a secure pairing process to prevent unauthorized connections, TechCrunch reports. While developer Mattel said the Bluetooth pairing times out once a connection occurs or if none is made, TechCrunch said its attempts found the pairing process did not time out after more than one hour.
