Hackers made their way into VTech's Learning Lodge app store customer database, according to the company. As many as 4.8 million parents—and 200,000 kids–may have been affected.

The data breach of Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer VTech appears to have also included photos of children and parents, adding to what could be one of the worst leaks of the year.

Electronic toy maker VTech has confirmed that hackers breached the company's system, obtaining the personal information of about five million customers -- including thousands of children.
