Insecure vibrator maker fined

Vibrator maker ordered to pay out C$4m for tracking users' sexual activity
:shock:

It's in a newspaper so I'm putting this in here but it could just as easily have gone in the WTF thread.
Some things really shouldn't have an internet connected app.

Re: Insecure vibrator maker fined

who the hell wants or needs a 'smart vibrator'? if you don't already know what effect it's having, you're doing it wrong.

That was certainly suggested in the article. It could be triggered via Bluetooth.
They did pose the question of whether remote activation by an unauthorised party could be considered sexual assault.
