## Summary

After The Verge reported serious security vulnerabilities in its robot toy Eiliko, Energize Lab issued a statement saying it has confirmed the core issues identified in the report. The company said it will hire an independent security firm to conduct a full review of its systems, set up a security contact email at security@energizelab.com, and has already closed external access to its backend, disabled the interface that allowed remote modification of the robot's replies, taken the long-term memory and custom avatar features offline, and will delete stored conversation records, user profiles, and avatar images.
