the robot that turned into a stabbing machine

Alpha 2 is an adorable humanoid robot that can teach, be a personal assistant, or provide entertainment through its inbuilt speakers and flexible joints. Promotional videos from its makers show the knee-high bot helping with chores around the house and passing a screwdriver to someone fixing faulty plumbing.

Now ethical hackers have found a way to hijack the robots controls, turning its tiny screwdriver holding hand into a weapon. Not only could someone remotely control movements, systems controlling cameras and speakers are also vulnerable.
