Smart toilet’s bidet hacked via Bluetooth, gives new meaning to ‘backdoor vulnerability’
Bestowing terrifying new definitions on the phrases “backdoor vulnerability” and “security hole,” one of the world’s most luxurious toilets has been exploited by hackers. The smart toilet is vulnerable via its built-in Bluetooth radio, allowing hackers to remotely open or close the lid, flush the toilet, or, perhaps most perturbingly, activate the built-in bidet function.

| Bluetooth, |
The toilet, which is called the Satis and made by Lixil (a Japanese firm, of course), includes Bluetooth functionality so that it can be controlled by a companion smartphone app called My Satis. My Satis lets you control all of the toilet’s functions, including the flusher, bidet, and hot-air blower — and it also lets you track your bowel movements. At this point you should probably watch the promotional video below, just so you understand the solemnity of this security SNAFU.
