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.
