A luxury toilet controlled by a smartphone app is vulnerable to attack, according to security experts.

Japan, what the hell. Seriously, why does a toilet need to get Bluetooth instructions? And who thought it was a good idea to hardwire the toilet security code?

I swear, things like this make me want to run right out and start using a pit latrine just to balance out the idea of a five-thousand-dollar toilet with faulty security that can't be fixed.

So please forgive my ignorance, but is the security risk that someone can access whatever is hooked up to the toilet via bluetooth? Cause my mind went killer robot urinal and I doubt that is correct.

ETA: And next time I will read the article before I ask. I am giggling a bit though.

They hardwired the security code to all zeros? I don't think this was an error. I think some dork programmer was looking forward to surprising young ladies at parties. :)
