I love this...

"A luxury toilet controlled by a smartphone app is vulnerable to attack, according to security experts."

Apparently the Japanese (where else?) toilet, which includes various functions, is controlled via bluetooth and because of a hardware problem can be operated by anybody close enough.

"Attackers could [also] cause the unit to unexpectedly open/close the lid, activate bidet or air-dry functions, causing discomfort or distress to [the] user."

My favourite quote is: "it's hard to imagine how serious hardened cybercriminals would be interested in this security hole".

Somebody could be in the doings.

I have just had a hot flush.

Well, when I say "me", I actually mean my next door neighbour :)

I wonder whether the person responsible will be sent to work on a chain gang

Being attacked in that vulnerable position would be enough to drive you around the bend.

:-D

I wonder how they tested it.

That would have been a plumb job.

Can't you get an app for that?

Mayfield Report 5 Aug 2013 17:14

Yes it's like a sheepskin sleeve on a stick and a rubber blade.

Then leant back on the seat ...for an air dry .....

I see you seem to have lost a little fleece is it shearing time?
