Lovense, a leading maker of internet-connected sex toys, recently addressed security vulnerabilities that exposed users’ private information. The company’s CEO, Dan Liu, is now contemplating legal action in response to the disclosure of these flaws.
Security Concerns Resolved
After a security researcher identified and reported the vulnerabilities earlier this year, Lovense took action to fix the bugs. The company stated that users will need to update their apps to ensure the full security of their devices.
No Compromised Data
Despite the security issues, Lovense claims that no user data, including email addresses, was compromised. However, this assertion has been challenged by independent verification from media outlets.
Legal Threats in Response
It’s not uncommon for companies to consider legal action to prevent the disclosure of security incidents. Lovense’s decision to potentially pursue legal avenues reflects a broader trend in cybersecurity accountability.
As the company continues to address these security concerns, users are urged to update their apps to safeguard their privacy and security.
