Description
"A user of the Lovense smart sex toy discovered that the app companion to the device had a six-minute recording of a private moment with a significant other. The app evidently made the recording while using the remote-controlled app paired with the smart vibrator, and was saved in the mobile phone's media storage.  Ideally, as as per the company webiste, the app is merely meant to turn the user's smartphone into a remote control for the sex toys.  This may even be done in long distances as long as the partner also has the app and added as the user's friend.  However, it was not meant to make a recording of the private moments, much less withouth the knowledge of the user."
