A security flaw in a hi-tech chastity belt for men meant the device could be locked remotely by hackers and would have forced users to cut it off with a grinder. The flaw also made it possible for hackers to remotely lock all the global devices simultaneously. A team of UK security professionals flagged the bug to Qiui, the Chinese developers of the app that controls the internet-linked sheath called the Cellmate Chastity Cage. 'Most times the problem is a disclosure of sensitive personal data, but in this case, you can get physically locked in.' In order to do this, however, the software must send commands to a computer server used by the manufacturer.
