    Almost as bad as the one time when hackers were able to remotely lock people’s IoT chastity cages and blackmail them.

    If you provide information. Email, name, address, etc. That data is sold. 100% of the time.

          It’s all over the news and his joke was good. You could’ve just asked or googled it instead of this pithy shit

          From what I gather, it’s an app where women can talk about potential dates in a “is this dude secretly an axe murderer, any other red flags?” sense, and it has/had really bad security and now all its data is out there

            Pretty much this but the main point of it was it was suppose to be anonymous, so they didn’t have to worry about said axe murder coming after them. The stupid thing they did was require their personal information including selfies during the sign up and that was leaked. Probably the worst thing to happen for the people of that apps intended target audience. Someone’s supposedly already tried to make service to find the women in the leaked data but it was shut down thankfully.

    You definitely don’t want your IoT buttplugs to have security vulnerabilities. Unless you’re into that?
