A huge, pink plastic penis purred into life as a hacker typed lines of code into a laptop – in what may be the world’s first sexy cyber attack.

So are we at risk of hackers taking over our dildoes and wreaking havoc on our genitals?

Maybe so, says normally sober security firm Trend Micro – as more and more devices are hooked to the internet, even sex toys could be at risk of hacks.

Trend Micro spokesman Raimund Genes said, ‘If I hack a vibrator it’s just fun. But if I can get to the back-end, I can blackmail the manufacturer.’




In other words, hackers probably won’t use rogue dildoes to assault us – instead, they’ll grab people’s credit card details and threaten to expose their passion for lifelike, ejaculating sex toys.
