Smart Toilet Hacked... "Backdoor Vulnerability" Jokes Abound

I suspect few of you knew of the existence of a Smart Toilet. The Japanese SATIS is "a cutting-edge toilet with advanced electronics technology." Owners can expect their throne to open automatically upon arrival, play music while you "work", then flush and close the lid based on your movement. The SATIS deodorizes automatically, has dedicated front and rear cleansing nozzles, and the bidet also features a "massage feature" for a truly unique potty experience.

Unfortunately, due to a Bluetooth vulnerability, the SATIS can be hacked, and attackers could unexpectedly open and close the lid, flush the toilet constantly, turn the music or lights on or off at will, or even activate the bidet jets at what may prove to be an inopportune time.

A hacked SATIS could significantly run up an owner's electric and water bills, but I would think that if you can pay over $4000 for a toilet, you can afford the extra water.

Ever wonder how to make your "alone time" a little more special? Watch this promotional SATIS video to see what you never knew you were missing!
