Security flaw left ‘smart’ chastity sex toy users at risk of permanent lock-in

Just because almost every gadget or appliance can be connected to the internet, doesn’t mean they should be. Outages can render these “smart” devices useless, and many use weak security that can make them easily hackable.

And as security researchers recently found out, the consequences of having a major security flaw in one popular sex toy could have been catastrophic for tens of thousands of users.

The source code for the ChastityLock ransomware that targeted male users of a specific adult toy is now publicly available for research purposes.

Users of the Bluetooth-controlled Qiui Cellmate chastity device were targets of an attack with this malware last year after security researchers found a vulnerability in the toy that allowed locking it remotely.

In October 2020, researchers at Pen Test Partners published details about a serious vulnerability that allowed a remote attacker to take control of any Qiui Cellmate device.
Following the disclosure, an attacker started targeting Qiui Cellmate mobile app users who controlled the smart toy and locked the chastity device. Victims were asked to pay 0.02 bitcoins, around $270 at the time of the attacks.

From screenshots seen by BleepingComputer, the attacker engaged victims after locking the chastity devices they controlled. The attacker also mocked victims when they asked what had happened, saying that they used magic to take control of the smart adult toy.
