Hello Barbie: Wi-fi-enabled doll labelled a bedroom security risk
The latest Barbie model, which maker Mattel hope to release before Christmas, will be wi-fi-enabled, making it possible for her to have a two-way conversation with her owner.
Those conversations are recorded and stored on the servers of ToyTalk, the company responsible for the technology.
Parents can even choose to upload and share those conversations online.
"You'd have to be mad to actually buy it," internet security commentator Stilgherrian said.
