The internet of dildos is here, and it’s vulnerable as hell

TwitterFacebook

When your internet-connected lightbulb gets hacked, a university gets DDoS’d. But when the same thing happens to your internet-connected vibrator? Well, let’s just say the ramifications are a tad more personal.

But thanks to Grace and Frankie, the Netflix sitcom starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, that’s exactly what people saw when the show’s third season premiered last year. The series, which centers around two friends who face many challenges while trying to create a vibrator for seniors, has brought to light an interesting real-life question: Where are all the sex toys for older people?
