A luxury toilet controlled by a smartphone app is vulnerable to attack, according to security experts.

 

"An attacker could simply download the My Satis application and use it to cause the toilet to repeatedly flush, raising the water usage and therefore utility cost to its owner,"

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that people thought this app was a good idea or that you can hack someone's toilet. 

Imagine the fun you could have spooking old people with a smart toilet.
