Lovense threatens legal action

Against who? Themselves?

To me it looks like Lovense outted themselves as being negligent and thus is liable for mishandling the whole situation from my view

Against who? Themselves?

Against people and media outlets who reported the issue or reported on the issue.

Their handling of the situation is close to as bad as it gets. Starting with taking 14 months(!) to address a wide open security home.

Guaranteed they didn't actually fix the problems, just plastered over them. Threatening legal action is to prevent people looking under the hood.

Uh.. maybe don't expose user data, then?

@thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org When your boss fires you, because you used you vibratory at work time in home office :awesome:

@thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org LOL. If you need online Sex toys, this is what you SHOULD expect. Applies to any other toys (like cars...). If they can call home, they WILL leak your generated data. Sooner or later.
