    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.

      At some point the security vulnerabilities are a feature, not a bug. Butt plug ransomware is the latest sex toy fad.

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

      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.

        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.

          I don’t know, if that’s the kink, that’s the kink. It’s not harming anyone who didn’t consent to it, so why kink shame them when they’re the ones who have been wronged?

          A lot of kink relationships are long-distance. This sort of product appeals to someone in a kinky LDR.
