Bluetooth-controlled sex toy subject to scary hack

Post by AnotherFairportfan »

Flaw in Sex Toy Can Let a Hacker Literally Lock Down Your Crotch
The API flaws in the CellMate chastity cage can let a hacker pull user information and remotely control the locking mechanism on the sex toy, according to security researchers at PenTest Partners.
The thing can ONLY be locked/unlocked {presumably by your partner} using the Bluetooth app.

And the Bad Guy can lock out the original user...
Making matters worse is how the chastity cage can only be unlocked via the mobile app. So to take the cage off while locked down, the wearer would need to cut through a metal ring that clamps around their genitals.

The Internet of Dongs, a project that examines sex toys for vulnerabilities, also noticed the API flaws with the Cellmate chastity cage. The group’s researcher managed to contact Qiui’s CEO, which resulted in a partial patch. But according to the Internet of Dongs, the fixes failed to fully address the leaky API while introducing new problems.

If you really want to protect your beanie babies that much, you have other issues that need more attention first.
Don't let other peoples limitations become your constraints!

It's not for protection - it's D/S - S&M gear.
