      Some MOST things just shouldn’t be connected to the internet.

      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.

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

    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‽

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

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

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

    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.

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