Vibratissimo Panty Buster
If you're looking for a connected sex toy that doesn't do much to protect your privacy and security, this is the one. This vibrator is designed to be worn in the panties against the skin and can be used at home, or discreetly in public. The app lets you or your partner hundreds of miles away operate the vibrator through a smartphone. The privacy and security problems with this device are many and well documented. The device allows for remote access without consent. The connection to the device from the app is via insecure Bluetooth, which can allow hackers to take control of the device if they are in range. This product seems to be made only for those who enjoy the thrill of potentially having their smart sex toy hacked.
What could happen if something goes wrong?
Mozilla did an independent security review of this product to confirm documented security problems. In our audit, security researchers found lots of critical vulnerabilities, including the ability to impersonate other users and remotely control the device. This means someone could simply pick your boyfriend's name and then pretend to be him while controlling the device remotely. According to our security audit, It's also fairly easy to hack into and control the device remotely. You can read our independent security review linked in the updates section below.
