       | That is beyond bad; some models using lovense have high privacy
       | needs and probably don't know their equipment is so insecure.
       | Even leaving account takeover aside, it is hard enough to fend
       | off stalkers without them having your email.

       | Like the author I would expect a lot more attention to privacy
       | and security from a remote operated vibrating dong company.

       | Assuming everything you reported is true (I'm not doubting you, I

       | This type of behavior should honestly get the leaders of the
       | company criminally charged, this is willful negligence. Assuming
       | this is true (and it the blog post has enough receipts to assume
       | that it is), this company should be forcibly dissolved by the
       | government and the leadership criminally charged. This is
       | absolutely ridiculous behavior in response to a security report.
