Your Toilets Are Not Safe

CBS News: High-tech toilets vulnerable to hackers (via BBC)

The bigger mystery here may be why someone would want a remote control to flush a toilet, but it could be handy for absent-minded toilet users or germaphobes who want to minimize contact with the porcelain throne. With a starting price of around $2,400, you will pay for the privilege.

The security issue is real, though it's hard not to snicker about it. Perhaps an app update will take care of this matter of national security. If you've already been impacted by this issue, then you can finally rest easy knowing your toilet isn't haunted. It's just been hacked.

:lolz:

I don't really care, so long as they sit low. I hate tall toilets, like the ones for disabled citizens.

Only use I could see for this, would be as a practical joke for your unsuspecting guest that might be in the middle of a bowl movement :lol:

why use toilet when you can make a hole in the garden, and use leaves as toilet-paper. S**t in the wilderness, nothing can be compared to it ^^

Well, I haven't installed the 1Gbps internet in my toilet, but this article made me let it go!).
Funny how an internet attacker could hack your toilet to "flush or not to flush")

NSA will love this. Gives 'em another way to keep tabs on your movements.

In fact, NSA will soon issue "cyber toilets" so they can see what we are putting into our bodies. It is part of nationalized medicine.
