Qiui is a Chinese company that manufactures internet-connected sex toys, including chastity cages and electrostimulation devices.
The company's most famous product is the Cellmate, a Bluetooth-controlled chastity cage[1] which communicates with the Internet via a mobile app. When locked, the cage is held closed by a locking pin. In normal operation, the locking pin can only be released by a small electric motor that is controlled by an onboard micro-controller.
Security vulnerability
[edit]In October 2020, a group of security researchers revealed that the Cellmate's API could be exploited to reveal user data and locations, as well as remotely lock devices, thus trapping the user's penis.[2][3] Qiui released an updated version of the app, and suggested that affected users contact their support team, or break the device open with a screwdriver.[4][5]
