No, 3 million electric toothbrushes were not used in a DDoS attack::A widely reported story that 3 million electric toothbrushes were hacked with malware to conduct distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is likely a hypothetical scenario instead of an actual attack.

Who the hell that put IOT service in toothbrush ?
I can't believe someone out there already put IOT services in home appliances even if that's not necessary to put in first place, what's next ?? IOT Condoms ? IOT Fleshlight ? GOD DAMNIT HUMAN.....

Of course it fucking is
I'm sorry what
This sounds like a powerful but very situational weapon.
no way
There was a chastity cage connected to. They faced a class action.
Listen an IoT Fleshlight has a lot of possibilities
Already exists.

My toothbrush is Bluetooth connected. It's used to configure the brush modes and track brushing habits. I didn't buy it for this and uninstalled the app after a week. Thankfully it's not Wi-Fi connected.
If its the same one my neighbour has, your neighbours can also track your brushing habits. My homeassistant instance automatically picked up my neighbours oral-b toothbrush :o
@SeeJayEmm
But you still had to pay for the tech installed in the toothbrush.
Try finding a good brush that doesn't have this tech installed :/
#toothbrush #bluetooth
Which is already paid for. I'll certainly keep that in mind when it's time to replace it.
Hopefully you're replacing the bristles every 3 months... right?....RIGHTT?
Yeah. I'm just not dropping $70 for a new handle just to prevent one of my neighbors from learning my brushing habits.
They have IoT fleshlights and dildos. They are marketed towards remote couples and remote sex workers though (audience interaction I think)
The field is called Teledildonics !
Next? Hell, that kind of thing is old news already.
