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

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

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

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

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‽

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

Your cock is mine now

I'm dying

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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