Checks out. All suffering is caused by being.

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

[-] [email protected] 21 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.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 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.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago

That would be non-consensual.

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.

[-] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 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!

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 17 points 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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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