Some users were locked in and lost control to their sex toy.
The company was informed last year about the API vulnerability.
Last year, a serious vulnerability in the chastity belt sex toy made by the Chinese company Qiui was discovered by a team of researchers at the UK-based Pen Test Partners. The flaw was real and dangerous for men using the toy, which is why the researchers urged Qiui to patch it. But it turns out it might have been too late for that. A hacker apparently gained access to these compromised chastity belts and asked victims for ransom to unlock their genitals.
