Child tracker firm uKnowKids has accused a security researcher of hacking its database after he told them it was publicly accessible online.

Researcher Chris Vickery claimed he found millions of text messages and images plus 1,700 "detailed child profiles" belonging to uKnowKids customers on search engine Shodan.

But when he alerted the firm it replied that his access was "unauthorised".

Mr Vickery says no password protection was in place.
