Hacked sex toys…
watch go out, Everyone, your acupoints are in danger.
Uncontrollable vibrations, mutations and embarrassment. oh mine!
Or at least that’s what a current spate of hacker projects is suggesting.
It all started with a post that sent the sex toy world into a tailspin. Specifically, a term called “Screwdriving” (Bluetooth hacking sex toys) was coined. Pen Testing Partners They consistently test the safety of their products.
In this case, it’s Lovense HUSH.
This in itself is essential thing. product should Pushing for as much consumer protection as possible, these tests can point out possible flaws so companies can improve their designs.
But… (yes, you expected it)…
The scene presented made me sigh – not to mention when I found that some reporters gave us 2 hours (Considering the time differences between countries) “respond” before they publish their article. This is very rude.
So let’s sort out the confusion and fear.
Does Lovense use a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) chip like many of its competitors?
Yes. This is common in almost all wearable or Bluetooth vibrator sex toys and is the current industry standard as well as an upgrade Exceed The older 3.0 version. The main reason for using this version (as the name suggests) is to ensure that the device does not drain the battery too much.
Are they really 100% safe? Of course not.
No Bluetooth devices are… because it Bluetooth.
BLE chips are designed to be as efficient and as secure as current technology allows.
Which brings us to the next section…
Did they crack the Lovense Hush butt plug?
Yes. This makes me sigh again.
Why?
Remove all the coded images and language like “victim” and “insecure” and what are you left with?
There’s a ton of missing information about the rest of the toys and app designs, and simple steps you can take to avoid this possibility if you’re intimidated by the concept.
#1. It takes time and resources
You need BLE sniffing hardware (as described in PTP), which most people don’t even know.
The hacker will also need to study the Lovense protocol before being able to send any commands to the toy (which can take quite a bit of time and a lot of experience).
#2. If the toy is turned on and connected, everything is working fine
The hacker would need to walk or drive around the city and hope someone has a remote-controlled sex toy turned on. But no connection to any mobile phone.
This is rare because if the user is wearing it outdoors, it needs to be connected to the app to work, which is the whole purpose of wearing it outdoors.
If it is on and connected to your phone, the hack cannot happen because it It can only be controlled by one device at a time, the phone you’re connected to.
#3. Distance is important
First, you must be 30 feet (10 meters) or less and Clear vision – Bluetooth signals don’t travel well through obstacles like walls… or thick clothing you wear when sitting in a chair.
Second, if they move, you must follow And hope they don’t go to the other room.
#4. Still afraid of hacker attacks?
The whole thing seems to revolve around it entering your body and buzzing you without your permission.. I totally understand that this would scare people off and cause quite a bit of panic.
The solution is simple:
- If it’s in the bag, the power is off and it can’t be hacked
- If the toy is open and in your bag, close it
- If you’re wearing it outside, make sure it’s connected to the app
- If you’re wearing it at home, remember that Bluetooth signals travel poorly through walls. They need to be placed outside a window. Also, if you’re wearing it at home, it should be connected to your phone anyway.
Excerpt from the PTP article:
Sorry, guys. That’s not accurate.
If it does get hacked, go to the bathroom, Turn it off and on again, then connect it to the app so no one else can control it.
Then go out, find that guy, and beat the hell out of him because he’s a pervert.
* Anyone with hacking skills Exceed (especially when it connected) will not be interested in sex toys and are more likely to be interested in Bank Account Attached to it.
Why all the noise, brother?
My point is that of all the things to worry about, vibrating toys are Ranking at the bottomIf someone took control of it, it wouldn’t drain your retirement fund or send nude photos to your boss and co-workers. It would just make a buzz.
mine The concerns about BLE are…
Heart monitors, industrial monitoring sensors, location-based promotions (iBeacon)and other possible causes Serious damageThey also mentioned Sex toys can video feedbackI agree with this view need Next level security.
But of all the annoying things… a butt plug…?
Really?
“Hacking” a vibrating sex toy and then suggesting it’s a “A “serious security breach” is like picking the lock on your parents’ bedroom and turning it into the Pentagon.
For any technology, if someone wants it bad If they try hard enough, they’ll find a way, and these guys want a lot more than just making your sex toy buzz.
I would like to add one final observation.
Excerpt from the PTP article:
![Bluetooth in anal plug - Lovense Hack 2 Bluetooth in anal plug - Lovense Hack 1722006114 400 Bluetooth in anal plug Lovense Hack](https://ps-eden.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1722006114_400_Bluetooth-in-anal-plug-Lovense-Hack.jpg)
The PTP tester went outside and miraculously found a toy that was turned on, but not connected to the phone, and very close?
Not to mention Lovense has zero biometric data or sensors, so there’s no way of knowing if it’s inside someone’s body.
It’s all just a little fishy.
Great for article traffic, but questionable.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Lovense strives to make things as secure as possible using existing technology, but we also need to make things simple and convenient for users.
So relax, turn on your toy and enjoy the vibrations that you control.
