A six-year-old girl uses her mother's fingerprint while she slept to buy toys for 240 euros

Nowadays it is so easy to buy online that even a child can do it. Of course, after unlocking the mobile with the imprint of its owner. But that was no problem for Ashlynd Howell, a six-year-old girl living in Little Rock, Arkansas (USA), who He took a nap from his mother to unlock the phone with his fingerprint and buy toys worth 250 dollars (240 euros).

So he was able to access his mother's Amazon account (which has everything very well mounted so that the purchase can be made with a couple of clicks), and Order several Pokémon toys. Concretely thirteen, which were already paid and on the way to the delivery address.

When she began receiving order confirmation emails, her mother thought she had been hacked the account, but immediately thought that it could have been a "mischief" of his daughter. And so it turned out to be. The girl seemed proud of having made an online purchase for herself.

โ€œI was shopping, mom, and don't worry because everything will come home,โ€ said the girl.

The parents immediately contacted Amazon, but it was too late to reverse the request. They could only return four of the thirteen toys, the other nine decided that they would become their Christmas gift.

Saving the distances that this was a "purchase," that of the parents was a very different reaction to what we told you that a father had a few days ago when he discovered that his three-year-old son had stolen a chocolate bar in the supermarket.

As a recommendation, I advise you to leave your mobile phone safely during the little heads on the couch. What would you have done instead?
