The maker of a 'smart' male chastity device has recommended using a screwdriver to break them open after warnings they can be locked remotely by hackers.
Chinese firm Qiui, whose Bluetooth-controlled Cellmate device can only be unlocked via an app, issued a video called "When nothing else works", showing the screwdriver fix.
"In case you cannot contact our customer support, the second option is to break open the Cellmate cap with a screwdriver or similar, as demonstrated in the video on our website," he said in a statement sent to AFP. "This will allow you to remove the pin lock and device."
"Guo added:"Compared to Cellmate, wearing a traditional chastity cage - often made of steel - with a classic padlock is much riskier.
Alex Lomas of Pen Test Partners, which released the research report, questioned the screwdriver manoeuvre, wondering whether the required angle was possible while wearing a Cellmate.
