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. An attacker could simply download the “My Satis” application and use it to cause the toilet to flush, raising the water usage and therefore utility cost to its owner. The potential for hacking smart homes and the Internet of Thingsfrom exploiting network-connected toys, thermostats, wireless speakers, to automated door lockswill only continue to grow.”]
