The sex toy was brought to life by typing out a few lines of code on his laptop.

While the stunt triggered sheepish giggles, the message was sobering.

But when data are siphoned off for months, no one bats an eyelid.

Beware!!! Now even sex toys are vulnerable to hacking

There is a lack of awareness.

Some modern sex toys even include webcams that can be used to communicate with partners remotely.

This opens up the possibility of hackers intercepting devices and secretly spy on the user.

However, manufacturers have been quick to stand behind the security of their products.

There are three layers of security, Sex toy maker Lovense said in a statement.

We take our customers private data very seriously, which is why we dont serve any on our servers.

We only wake up when the damage is done, he said.

There are enough examples of successful hacking cases.

Now the next steps need to be taken to get back into a secure area.
