Data security in this day and age was already a joke. Besides one accurately guessed password putting a 158-year old company out of business, hackers keep finding zero-day flaws in Chrome like it's going out of fashion. Speaking of, the latest data security punchline involves a zero-day flaw in Lovense, an app designed to remotely control a number of different sex toys—and before you ask, yes, my family is always telling me how proud they are of what I do for a living.
Simply by knowing someone's Lovense username, hackers can reportedly leverage the zero-day flaw to get at users' email addresses and potentially more private information too (via Bleeping Computer). Worse still, it turns out that simply by knowing a user's email address, hackers can then also hijack their Lovense account.
