Valentines day is coming, and so you might you. If you want considering a connected sex toy, here are some things to consider to keep yourself secure and your data private

As usually happens, any connected sex toy security news gets sent to me pretty quickly, saving me a bunch of time and effort.  Thank you lazyweb! A friend sent me a link to a blog post on Bananamafia.dev about vulnerabilities found in the Satisfyer line of devices and associated

Below are a set of assessments for the same devices as assessed by the Mozilla Foundation in their Privacy not included Valentines 2019 list.  These are meant to supplement the Mozilla assessments and help provide some context to their findings.

So, just as I'm getting on a plane for a digital detox weekend, VICE media decided to post an article based on an interview I did with author Mark Hay back in July, 3-1/2 months ago.  I've not done much in that time sadly, so the info in the

As anyone who follows the project on Twitter or read my previous rebuttal, Pen Test Partners has been fairly active in researching various IoD devices on their own. As can be read here, here, here, and here. I've previously posted my rebuttal to their very technically interesting, but highly juvenile

As typically happens when sex toy related news hits, my phone began pinging incessantly as half of the Internet sent me a link to this Motherboard article about hacking the Svakom Siime Eye. The Siime Eye is a vibrator that has a camera in the end of it. It uses

As was reported widely late last year, and discussed here on this site, Standard Innovation (SI), the company behind the We-Vibe was being sued in US court over their failure to disclose data their app collected. Well, they finally settled the lawsuit for a ridiculous sum of $5 million (CAN)

The kind donation from Pornhub[NSFW] continues to be put to use acquiring more devices to add to the collection for us to test. So far, we've got the following on order due to arrive any day: Honey Birdette Vive! - Slow boat from Australia Miss On The Go -

Thanks to the sponsorship of PornHub [NSFW], we've got our first new batch of toys for testing and more on the way. We now have a Kiiroo His and Hers set, aka an Onyx and Pearl This pair of toys is true device-to-device teledildonics but presents some interesting challenges due

This project has been moving faster and succeeding more than I had ever expected. Its almost like I know what I'm doing (a scary thought). Though still 60 days out, I'm so confident that things will continue to grow and thrive, I renewed the internetofdon.gs domain name for two

As was announced at Hackfest, Pornhub [NSFW] has been a supporter from the very early days and recognized the importance to consumers security and privacy that this project has. They wonderfully stated it as "We’re very pleased to be supporting Render with this project. Here at Pornhub [NSFW]

The idea for the IoD project started long ago, but it was created with the same concerns that the recent We-Vibe Lawsuit suddenly brought to the forefront of everyone's attention. In fact that lawsuit accelerated the launch of the IoD website before everything was finished being built. It has been

It was kind of an open secret that the first vulnerabilities set in were for our first vendor partner Lovense since doing so was helping to build us sort out the steps for a framework for vendors to follow. We submitted and they verified two vulnerabilities that would have violated

Been busy working behind the scenes on things here at the IoD project. Sure to have some big news very soon, but in the mean time, a few other noteworthy updates. First, The video of the IoD talk from Hackfest 2016 is now online here on youtube. Slides are available

Ok, back from Hackfest and have a bunch of updates and great news for the IoD project. First, I can announce our first major sponsor. Though we are still figuring out the specifics of how they will be supporting/sponsoring, I can say that Pornhub [NSFW] is very enthusiastic in

Been a very busy and productive few weeks before Hackfest and the first public presentation on the IoD project. The talk went very well despite some uncertainty and nervousness about how to even present this project and content. Now that it's over, there's already things I want to change and

Wow, things have been moving fast. We just had our first print media interview. EAN magazine, a European erotic industry trade magazine, did an interview about the IoD project and put us in front of many industry eyeballs. Hopefully this will help get more vendors reaching out and more privacy
