Example #4363 why making everything “smart” is a terrible fucking idea
NightAuthor@lemmy.world 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.

Imagine having your smart cock cage locked out by Amazon because some rando told them you are racist lmao

We live in the weirdest timeline

Better than having it locked on I suppose…

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‽

yup :3

Don’t mix your pen testing with your pen testing if you know what I mean.

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

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

That probably worked for most of the clientele.

And to think I don’t even feel safe about buying something as innocent as a smart TV…
jcg@halubilo.social 1 year ago
Why oh why can one no longer buy a dumb TV?! Do companies just not make them anymore?!
yukichigai@kbin.social 1 year ago
This exact scenario has appeared in an entirely unsurprising number of chastity stories.

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

The chastity belt may be smart, but the maker never claimed to be so.
JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel like like the potential for being exposed as a chastity cage user might actually be a plus for some users

for people with a penis
So, men?
finestnothing@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Trans women too
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yeah, but you can also just say men, that’s fine. If we go that route we should add asterisks on every word with explanations and definitions and whatnot.
azulavoir@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I wouldn’t be surprised if the ratio of trans women to men in the audience of this product was a lot higher than in the general population.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
If you transitioned to become a man, wouldn’t you want to be called just that, “man”?
Either way, this “people with penises” is the type of waking in eggshells language that makes everyone annoyed just to satisfy a few perpetually slighted. It’s perfectly fine to say “men”, everyone knows what we mean, nobody is excluding anyone and you can’t talk in ways that includes everyone because anytime you try, you’ll just end up with yet someone else who feels insulted because you didn’t include his particular interpretation of how he/she/xe/sho/is/zil/etc feels…
At one point we just need to remember nthst people typically aren’t trying to insult anyone in normal speech and er shouldn’t require and force people to our special and particular speech only or feel insulted.
some_guy@kbin.social 1 year ago
Ah yeah see you knew what they meant. What’s the issue?
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
The overly PC language that is just annoying most people just so you a can pretend to include people when in reality you don’t.
Just talk plain English. It doesn’t insult or exclude anybody to say “men” or “women”
dion_starfire@lemmy.world 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 1 year ago
At some point the security vulnerabilities are a feature, not a bug. Butt plug ransomware is the latest sex toy fad.

Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
good, cause they where stupid enough to buy a fucking smart chastity cage
AteshgaRubyTeeth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can imagine buying this if you’re in an long distance relationship and into chastity.
The company is the bad guy here, there’s no need to victim blame just because their kink doesn’t match yours.
Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
im not saying the company isnt to blame, all im saying is a smart chastity belt is about the same level as a a smart shoe
nxfsi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Having a unique use case doesn’t mean it’s still not an incredibly stupid product. Same as with smart door locks, smart safes, smart guns and smart “full self driving” cars.

Some things just shouldn’t be connected to the internet.
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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.
