Sex toy maker Lovense caught leaking users’ email addresses and exposing accounts to takeovers

Lovense, a prominent sex toy manufacturer, has been accused of a major security breach that exposed users' private information. According to a security researcher, the company's systems had vulnerabilities that allowed for the leakage of users' email addresses and the potential hijacking of their accounts. The researcher claims to have made Lovense aware of these issues over a year ago, but the company failed to address them in a timely manner. Consequently, the researcher decided to go public with the findings, raising concerns about Lovense's commitment to protecting its customers' privacy and security. The revelations have prompted questions about the company's data handling practices and the measures it has in place to safeguard the sensitive information of its users. The incident underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in the rapidly growing sex tech industry, where the protection of users' personal data should be a top priority.
