"Today, a Reddit user pointed out that Hong Kong-based sex toy company Lovense's remote control vibrator app (Lovense Remote) recorded a use session without their knowledge."
'A hacked refrigerator sounds slightly scary, but a vibrator-controlling app that records all your sex sounds and stores them on your phone without your knowledge?'
'A user claiming to represent Lovense responded and called this recording a "minor bug" that only affects Android users. ', "In the butt plug's case, the vulnerability had to do with Bluetooth, as opposed to the company spying on users.", "In a separate case unrelated to the Lovense, a company called We-Vibe was sued after after its Bluetooth-enabled vibrators allegedly collected and recorded users' personal information."
