ESET security researchers have exposed common weaknesses lurking in the latest smart sex toys that can be exploited by attackers. The devices are equipped with features such as online conferencing, messaging, internet access, and Bluetooth connectively. The information processed by sex toys consists of highly sensitive data such as names, sexual orientation, gender, a list of sexual partners, private photos and videos, among other pieces, which, if leaked, can adversely compromise a user’s privacy. The researchers express concern over these IoT devices being compromised and weaponized by the attackers for malicious actions, or to physically harm the user.
