Privacy & security nightmares: Hacking smart toilets, smart toys, smart homes

A Japanese-manufactured LIXIL Satis smart toilet is extremely expensive, as much as about $6,000, and not readily available in the U.S. Researchers at the security firm Trustwave reverse-engineered an Android app for the Bluetooth-controlled Satis.
