    A luxury toilet controlled by a smartphone app is vulnerable to attack, according to security experts.
    Retailing for up to $5,686 (£3,821), the Satis toilet includes automatic flushing, bidet spray, music and fragrance release.
    The toilet, manufactured by Japanese firm Lixil, is controlled via an Android app called My Satis.
    But a hardware flaw means any phone with the app could activate any of the toilets, researchers say.

    ....

    "Attackers could [also] cause the unit to unexpectedly open/close the lid, activate bidet or air-dry functions, causing discomfort or distress to [the] user."
    Can the hackers make it do a core dump! :pac:
