Hacking male chastity

"A security flaw in a hi-tech chastity belt for men made it possible for hackers to remotely lock all the devices in use simultaneously.

The internet-linked sheath has no manual override, so owners might have been faced with the prospect of having to use a grinder or bolt cutter to free themselves from its metal clamp.

The sex toy's app has been fixed by its Chinese developer after a team of UK security professionals flagged the bug.

They have also published a workaround."

The most obvious workaround would be to not put the bloody thing on the first place, you moron!

Now that would recalibrate your definition of a bad day.

"The Internet of Things" just became even less appealing.

Security is hard.

Looks like he's in Alberta.

I'm sure there's a pun there somewhere.

Let's see... the Chinese make a device out of metal to lock up a penis...

Everything's ok. No Americans will be able to get their dick in the little thing anyway......

If that's a map of who owns the remote chastity belts, I suppose that more specifically there's an "Alberta Crude" joke in there somewhere.

I didn't want to go there.

Me neither, that's why I didn't say anything.
