Some things just shouldn't be connected to the internet.

Checks out. All suffering is caused by being.

Apparently I'm one of those things. Jesus, what an article

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately connecting this kink to the internet facilitates doing it. Having the device itself connect for ease of use had caused an unbelievable amount of tech issues, though. To be fair the programmer is a dipshit, though.

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

But that just makes connecting those things to the internet forbidden... and therefore alluring.

...provides the most complete remote sex solution for the Internet and corporate intranet.

Lol ha ha

A piece of internet history. So glad it's been preserved.

So is the headline. Chastity cage, exposed. 🤣

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

Example #4363 why making everything "smart" is a terrible fucking idea

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Not inherently, they coulda followed best practices. But this is definitely a reason not to buy smart things.

Isn't this just facilitating their humiliation kink? I think it's more of a service.

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 year ago

That would be non-consensual.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago
[-] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Consensual non-consent

[-] Sdnimm543@slrpnk.net 47 points 1 year ago

I'll be honest, not the worst possible issue with a smart chastity cage that I could think of.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

It is when I lock your shit remotely and then change the password

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago

TFW chinese hackers hold your dick for ransom until you send them crypto

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

At least someone other than me is holding my dick.

The researcher, who asked to remain anonymous because he wanted to separate his professional life from the kink-related work he does, said he gained access to a database containing records of more than 10,000 users,

10,000 users‽

Rule 34 extends to action as well as observance.

[-] iByteABit@lemm.ee 45 points 1 year ago

Your cock is mine now

I'm dying

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

That probably worked for most of the clientele.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 37 points 1 year ago

This exact scenario has appeared in an entirely unsurprising number of chastity stories.

[-] BastianAI@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

And to think I don't even feel safe about buying something as innocent as a smart TV...

The chastity belt may be smart, but the maker never claimed to be so.

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 26 points 1 year ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The researcher, who asked to remain anonymous because he wanted to separate his professional life from the kink-related work he does, said he gained access to a database containing records of more than 10,000 users, thanks to two vulnerabilities.

He also reached out to the company on June 17 alerting them of the issues in an attempt to get them to fix the vulnerabilities and protect their users’ data, according to a screenshot of the email he sent and shared with TechCrunch.

[REDACTED] has left the site wide open, allowing any script kiddie to grab any and all customer information.

“Your cock is mine now,” the hacker told one of the victims, according to a researcher who discovered the hacking campaign at the time.

In 2016, researchers found a bug in a Bluetooth-powered “panty buster,” which allowed anyone to control the sex toy remotely over the internet.

In 2017, a smart sex toy maker agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by two women who alleged the company spied on them by collecting and recording “highly intimate and sensitive data” of its users.


The original article contains 702 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago

No, no, no, no. No. Surely the hacker knows the victim probably did not see that comment as a threat 😭

Sign up for the cage, get a bonus dom!

[-] dion_starfire@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

If this is the same one I remember from a couple years back, what's not listed in this article: two different security teams warned them of the vulnerabilities multiple times, the vendor claimed to have fixed the issue when they hadn't, the devices didn't have any sort of physical bypass in case of malfunction, and what finally convinced the pen testers to go public was the company announcing that they planned to make a locking inflatable butt plug using the same platform.

[-] Chunk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

At some point the security vulnerabilities are a feature, not a bug. Butt plug ransomware is the latest sex toy fad.

I feel like like the potential for being exposed as a chastity cage user might actually be a plus for some users

[-] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago

God i hope the users used a email alias and fake names
