Chastity belts have been around for centuries. If you go to sex museums around the world, you\u2019ll see different kinds of devices with all kinds of locks and keys to deny access to your junk. If you lost the key, you\u2019d have to force your way out of them with a hammer and tongs.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if your chastity belt is connected to the internet and a hacker locks it forever? A remote cockblocking attack would be a thing. This could\u2019ve actually happened to anyone using Qiui\u2019s Cellmate internet-connected chastity lock<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

As reported by TechCrunch<\/a> first, UK-based security firm Pen Test Partners<\/a> said that a bug on the internet-connected sex device could\u2019ve allowed an attacker to lock a user\u2019s penis forever.<\/p>\n

The device has you or a trusted partner controlling its locking functionality via a mobile app that connects to an online service \u2014 there\u2019s no physical key for it. However, the API that talks to the app was left open without proper security protocols; an attacker could control your device and deny you access to it, without any recourse.<\/span><\/p>\n

You read that right, there\u2019s no way to unlock the device without the app<\/span>. As Pen Test Partners explains in the video below, the tube is locked onto a metal ring that\u2019s worn at the base of the penis. So you\u2019ll need to use a heavy-duty grinder or drill to cut it open. Good luck with that.<\/p>\n
