Researchers at the University of Washington recently studied the RoboSapien V2, the Rovio, and the Spykee robots to search for security flaws.

All of these robots can be accessed over the internet.  Unfortunately the researchers have found several easily hackable security flaws in the robots and their internet connections.

Imagine if your home robot was controlled by  hackers and they spied on you?
