If you're the owner of a Svakom Siime Eye internet-connected, camera-equipped vibrator, it might be time to hide that thing in a deep, dark corner of your dresser. It turns out the smart sex toy is vulnerable to hacking, according to UK-based penetration testing and security services firm Pen Test Partners.
The $249 device works with an app that lets users watch video and shoot pictures and videos and save them to devices like phones or laptops. Granted, if you've purchased a vibrator that has a camera and connects to the internet, that probably means you want someone to watch. The problem is it's pretty easy for anyone who's within Wi-Fi range and can guess your password to access your video stream.

The internet has lots of people willing to give free medical advice.

It has the feel of satire.
It is so hard to tell anymore. I am getting so confused.
