According to a blog post published by security researcher Giovanni Mellini , Mellini is now able to control the maker's anal plug 'Hush' called Lunense without any authority. Lovense is 'the first time in the world for the Hush teledildonics is an anal plug', had been selling as 'can be operated from anywhere.'



For this hacking, Mellini used the BLE scanner 'BLEAH' created by hacker Simone Margaritelli and published on GitHub . Originally Hush is operated from an application called Lovense Remote, but if you use BLEAH that can hack a BLE device, there is no need to use a nearby Hush, no password, no PIN, no PC. It will be able to operate with commands.

You can see from below how Mellini is operating Hush from a PC command without using the app.

Bluetooth communication is known as one of the least secure communication methods, but BLE is said to be at a higher risk of being attacked than Bluetooth. However, BLE is currently used in many devices, especially IoT devices, because of its low battery consumption.

Margaritelli explains that 'BLE is a cheap and weak security version of Bluetooth' and warns that it is relatively easy for a third party to intervene and attack. And I published BLEAH to show how BLE is poor in terms of security.

Mr. Mellini who read Mr. Margaritelli's article talked with Mr. Margaritelli to use BLEAH for anal plug in a joke, but it is 'let's test together if it really does' and it is an event called HackInBo In Bologna, which is the venue of the event, they really tried to hack anal plug.
