Pranksters can gain control of it and command the adult toy to vibrate. This could lead to embarrassing situations for the owner or user of the smart adult toy. Like if you are in a staff meeting or shopping and everyone hears a faint buzzing sound that seems to be coming from you.
For more info on this threat, go to the Weird News group and read the article linked to in the OP.
I'm using my tablet and I don't know how to provides links or cut and paste with this thing.

(6,261 posts)I was just going through all the time and frustration of freezing our credit with all 3 agencies last week because of the Equifax hack, but I kept assuring myself that life was still worth living by continually reminding myself: "At least my WiFi-connected smart butt plug cannot be hacked!"
And now this!
