The IoT ecosystem is full of weird and strange devices, including smart sex toys. And like all the other devices, smart sex toys are vulnerable, as a security researcher found.
During the DEF CON conference that took place in the Las Vegas’ Paris Hotel & Casino, a security researcher named ‘smea’ showed how he could compromise the Lovense Hush smart sex toy via a vulnerability.
The researcher found the dongle had no protection, allowing users to upload their own code. Using an existing BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) vulnerability, the attacker could continue to compromise the dongle over Bluetooth since the device uses an old version of a chip from Nordic Semiconductor. The manufacturer of the chip says that all hardware built after July 2016 is no longer vulnerable.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to tell how many of these chips remain in operation and how spread out and active they might be.
“The idea is that from the dongle you can actually compromise the app that’s running on a computer,” says ‘smea’ for Gizmodo. “IoT developers have all these newer technologies, like javascript-based applications, working together with these super-low level microcontrollers. They don’t necessarily understand the implications of, for example, dumping raw input from the dongle to HTML.”
The application itself is written with Electron and relies on Chromium, but for some strange reason, it doesn’t use a sandbox, which means attackers could use the flaw to do almost anything, including deploy ransomware.
The researcher also raised a problem that goes way beyond the vulnerability of a smart device. If someone were to activate the toy remotely, without the user’s consent, would be it be enough to consider it a sexual assault?
Bitdefender Total Security Key

The suite has the same core features as Bitdefender Internet Security, a powerful mix of antivirus, firewall, browsing protection, parental controls, anti-theft system, encryption, ransomware protection and password manager.
New features include a Webcam Protection module which notifies you when apps try to access your webcam, and blocks unauthorised usage.

The 'Safe Files' modules protect selected files from unauthorized changes. Right now this is available for Mac only, but it'll be arriving for Windows soon.
The Bitdefender Firewall makes it easier for users to understand and use the module and includes a brand new interface, too.
