We-Vibe is being sued because their bluetooth enabled vibrators' app is poorly secured. The app sent back data about the temperature and vibration intensity of the device.



Not minority enough!

Synopsis: folks entered info on their sexual encounters into an app on a networked device. The APP shared that info with the company that made it. Folks found out about said database and sued the company.

bottom line: if it's networked or network capable, it can be used as a sensor.

Network capable things are getting out of hand. Washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, individual lightbulbs and more. It's ridiculous.

But as far as entering crap into an app, or on the web, people who don't assume that it's simply public are kidding themselves.
