Satis automatic toilets vulnerable to hacker attacks, Trustwave warns
http://www.news.com.au/technology/biztech/satis-automatic-toilets-vulnerable-to-hacker-attacks-trustwave-warns/story-fn5lic6c-1226691757637
I wouldnât regard that as something worthy of a security warning notice, it could be rather embarrassing though if your on the toilet and some kid with to much time on his hands wants to start playing around with your toilet while you are on it ;D
More than that Craig Iâve seen kids in the menâs room playing games while sitting on the toilet and it was loud, and sometimes I yelled out to them and say hurry up and finished youâre toilet job ;D ;D
Edit: Kids can do strange things to their iphone if you know what I mean without their parents knowing and I have to goes some place else while they enjoining to them selfâs, and I donât bloody want to know about it ;D ;D
